However, the final day graced the spectators with clear skies and sunshine, making for an ideal day to enjoy the thrilling races. The friends, dressed in their Sunday best, sat comfortably on the cabin cruiser 'Paris,' their eyes glued to the racecourse as they cheered for their favorite teams. In the background, the historic Henley Rowing Club building stood tall, a testament to the rich history and tradition of the regatta. His Excellency the Rt. Hon.
