Dozens of people have come out to support the Princess Royal in Marlow as she launches a new accessible regatta for children with disabilities.
A host of Paralympians and Olympians joined Princess Anne at Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre as she opened the first ever Rivertime Accessible Regatta this morning.
More than 350 children from 20 schools in the Thames Valley are expected to take part in the event, which is aimed at children with disabilities and special needs aged eight to 15.
Marlow Free Press reporter Stephanie Wareham is at the event, bringing you the latest from the sports centre. Follow her on Twitter @Stephanie_BFP.
