Great pictures. That's quite a crowd on board. How are the passenger numbers this tour? Seems Ok for a Wednesday.

ps  Where's that steam coming from ?    ???

Yes its the steam whistle...  looks like the "white shirted arm" on the bridge wing pulling the rope to activate the whistle
Looks like you could get a couple of rude sentences out of all that bunting   ;D
