What a fantastic day.

The Lord Mayor & Sheriff

expertly drew the Lucky Dip Ducks

then guided the great splash down for the race.

The Ducks as ever were completely unpredictable

first spreading out into a colourful circle

then defying the river current

the wind pushed them upstream

finally reaching the finish-line after 15minutes

of nail biting torment!
