Sometime after 1.00 pm on Saturday 20th June, King Henry VIII and his Queen were rowed past Brentford Dock aboard the Royal Shallop Jubilant. They were accompanied by a flotilla of traditional shallops and Watermen’s cutters.
Henry was on his way to Hampton Court Palace for a weekend of music, dancing and entertainment in the Palace gardens to mark the 500th anniversary of his coronation (24 June 1509).
On Wednesday 16th March, the 260-year-old stone lion that used to sit on the roof of Syon House was taken away for emergency repairs to his crumbling paws and tail. Syon Park says the lion, which is the Percy family emblem, is due back in about three month's time, all being well.
