Five dragonboats rowed from Putney around to Johnson’s Drawdock yesterday afternoon as part of a rehearsal for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee flotilla.

The pictures above are of the Raging Dragons team. Here’s a video of another team carrying their boat out of the river.

Thanks to local photographer Tim Keeler for this photo of the cranes that are helping to build the cable car across the Thames.

The light blanketing of snow combined with great fireworks to mark the royal celebrations made the last weekend one to remember. Local independent video company, Save The Dog Productions, have put together this great video with some of the great sights in Greenwich on Sunday.

Save The Dog Productions have a Facebook page and their own website.

The snow that came down at the weekend provided plenty of great photo opportunities around Greenwich. Here’s a bumper Daily Photo post with a round up of Greenwich snow pictures.

Thanks to Alex Brooks for this one…

And finally, thanks to Lara Ruffle who gave the snow the thumbs up.

Despite the long-predicted snow coming down last night, Greenwich still managed to put on a party to celebrate the borough’s new royal status.

There was a lantern parade through the Old Royal Naval College and then some fantastic fireworks from a barge in the Thames.

Thanks to Greenwich Council for issuing this final picture. The man behind the lens was Peter Hayward.

The Royal Borough celebrations moved to Eltham today, with the Royal Charter on show and the planting of a black Poplar tree at Well Hall Pleasaunce. A large crowd later gathered in freezing conditions at the Tudor Barn to enjoy live music and a fireworks display.

A large crowd gathered in General Gordon Square, Woolwich, this evening to enjoy music and fireworks to mark the borough’s new royal status.

There was also a short speech from the Leader of the Council, Chris Roberts, who earlier in the day collected the Royal Charter from Westminster.

Henry VIII, usually found at Hampton Court Palace, also turned up to say a few words and there were other performers in character entertaining the crowd and posing for photos.
