The Queen enjoys a summer cruise on the Thames

The Queen has been making the most of the warm weather with a trip down the Thames in the royal barge, Gloriana. At one point, the royals passed a group travelling on a narrowboat.

The vessel which was used during the Diamond Jubilee celebrations was rowed along the river for several miles. The Queen could be seen inside chatting to the Countess of Wessex.
