4th to 8th July 2007
Henley Royal Regatta is a rowing event held every year since 1839 on the River Thames by Henley-on-Thames, England. A Great British Event, the Henley Regatta owes it’s Royal Patronage to Prince Albert who in 1851 became the Regatta’s first Royal Patron. Since his death, the reigning Monarch has always consented to become Patron of the regatta. As a result the event is called the Henley Royal Regatta.
Wimbledon, SW19. The All England Club Tennis Championships started in Great British style this morning. The scheduled start of play was delayed by half an hour on Monday following rain showers. Play had been due to start at 1100 GMT on the outside courts but tournament referee Andrew Jarrett announced a delay following a morning of rainfall in southwest London. Monday’s weather forecast is for rain to continue into the afternoon with some brighter spells later in the day.
Reigning (or should that be raining?) Wimbledon Champion Roger Federer is due to open his title defence against France’s Richard Gasquet today.
Henley Royal Regatta splashes down on the 28th of June till the 2nd July 2006 and the current forecast foretells a bright and sunny Regatta, perfect for Pimms, Champagne and like Wimbledon – strawberries and cream. Enjoy.
