EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, is seen opening the new pontoon at the Westminster Boating Club on 18 July 1985. The Duke, dressed in a navy blazer and red tie, is surrounded by London Fire Brigade personnel, all wearing their distinctive uniforms and helmets. The backdrop of the image is the iconic London landscape, with the River Thames flowing gently in the foreground and the distinctive silhouette of the London Phoenix, a fireboat of the London Fire Brigade, displaying jets of water in the background. The Duke of Edinburgh, who was the patron of the Westminster Boating Club, was greeted by the firemen with a salute as he arrived at Dinorwic Wharf, Cheyne Walk, in London. The opening ceremony was an important event for the boating community, as well as for the London Fire Brigade, who were proud to showcase their fireboat and its capabilities. The London Phoenix, a powerful firefighting vessel, was a vital part of the London Fire Brigade's fleet, and was often called upon to tackle fires on the River Thames and its surrounding docks. The boat's impressive water jets were a symbol of the Brigade's readiness and ability to respond to emergencies, and served as a reminder of the crucial role that the fire service plays in protecting the city and its people. The photograph captures a moment of celebration and camaraderie, as the Duke of Edinburgh, the London Fire Brigade personnel, and the members of the Westminster Boating Club come together to mark the opening of the new pontoon. The image is a testament to the enduring spirit of service and community that defines both the royal family and the London Fire Brigade, and is a fascinating glimpse into the past of these esteemed institutions.
