Anyone know what's happening with the Royal Iris of 1950, moored on the Thames just down from the flood barrier? I see it's been painted white again (actually half of it looks like grey primer) and looks so much better than that awful (in my opinion) two-tone blue, which was flaking away quite badly last year (and which I see has now been inflicted on the Queen Mary 2 - perhaps the QMs owners intended to use the Iris as another pub?)
Just wondered...!
