Hundreds of boats rowed up the Thames to Ham during the weekend as they took part in the Great River Race.

More than 300 boats from all over the country joined in the 21-mile race, which started at London Docklands at 12.10pm on Saturday, September 7.

Boats of all shapes and sizes descended on the river for the 25th annual race which saw many fancy dress laden rowers take part including Smurfs and monkeys.
