do they?
2012, the most important state occasion for many years, the jubilee water pageant,will not be seen again in our lifetime, what did the bbc show? more of anneka rice's backside and jubilee babies than boats , the royal party were shown along with the canoeists but little /no footage of the 750 boats following the royal barge.
every one who applied had to provide a story to be invited, no mention of any of this, one example was a group of disabled ex-servicemen who crewed a narrow boat and took 3 weeks to get there.also many little ships from dunkirk.
greg dyke head of BBC said they had done a good job
