A cruise up the Thames to London,1965

A French Schoolboy trip from France to London in 1965, starting their journey on board the MV Royal Daffodil which was built in 1939 and scrapped in 1967. In the late 1950s and early to mid 1960s she was used for “no passport” trips to France, which enabled people to drink outside normal licensing hours as these did not apply at sea.
Passing under Tower Bridge and then taking a coach tour to see all the usual sights.
London, the capital of England and the United Kingdom, is a 21st-century city with history stretching back to Roman times. At its centre stand the imposing Houses of Parliament, the iconic ‘Big Ben’ clock tower and Westminster Abbey, site of British monarch coronations. Across the Thames River, the London Eye observation wheel provides panoramic views of the South Bank cultural complex, and the entire city.
