Philip and Meg Carr from Penzance decided to lead (and inspire) other boaters by decorating their nb Cromdale ready for the weekend Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
They moored opposite the National Indoor Arena on the BCN canal. This is a favourite stopover place for boaters visiting the West Midlands and provides a little city dweller therapy after the serenity of out of town canal stretches. The canal catches the evening sun after which the nightlife of Birmingham is at hand, for those with the energy of youth!
below are some photos of the couple, their boat and the scene. As luck would have it another boat passed by at the time also adorned by jubilee bunting.
