6201 Princess Elizabeth and The Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant

[@Schenkerflyingv]

Only now, 50 years after the Beeching report do I understand what the outcry was all about. Each steam train has a living beating heart with soul. I wish I was able to take it in more back in the late 50's - early 60's

[@EMuksteam]

Excellent video of a grand day history in the making thanks for sharing.

[@1Z64]

Thanks Chris. For many who've commented, this was the highlight of the event. I hope those involved see it too.

[@richardnorris8233]

Superb video, superb loco, superb day! Enjoyed and thanks for posting

[@youtubular16]

Thank you so much for taking and posting this video. It has given and brought quite a bit of pleasure to yours truly, friends, and family members. We watched on BBC from across the pond, having been in London just a week before. Your video shows much that we missed, and much of what I imagine it was to be there. And of course, 6201 Princess Elizabeth too. Well taken. I've bought the OO Hornby Diamond Jubilee set too. Very good memories of England. Thank you!

[@1Z64]

Thanks Bill. It was a great event that made you feel proud to be British.

[@josephmarrison4606]

I can remember watching The Pageant on the TV and seeing the engine on the bridge, what a great day that was.

[@JamesandPeter]

Excellent pice of history/footage you captured there. Loved 46201 on the bridge shot. Liked and Faved. JamesandPeter

[@hurleyfunbags]

Excellent video Martyn of an historic day.

[@SYKAROST]

In a word Martyn... Brilliant!!! What a frantic day you must have had in such poor weather but so worthwhile, well done. Brian.

[@1Z64]

I am proud of this video and somewhat surprised at how easy it was to get so close to the bridge considering the size of the crowds. It was a great day and I thank you for your comment.

[@john34081]

Well put together record of a special day with excellent footage. Thanks for taking the trouble to produce such a first class video.

[@kebl0597]

A super set of clips, Martyn, in what sounds to have been a very busy day! Particularly enjoyed your bridge footage, the best I've seen. What a moment for steam. Thankyou for putting in all the miles and hard work, and sharing the results. Tim

[@1Z64]

Thank you Tim i'm pleased you enjoyed it and appreciate your comment.

[@dcg12b]

This is absolutely superb, if not THEE best video I've seen of Lizzie alongside the pageant. Well captured, you should be very proud of your work!! Fav'd and liked!! :)

[@ahoseason]

Thank you for the great shots. The four mile walk was worth it and much appreciated! I've been looking for non-TV video of the moment on the bridge!

[@khankadet]

A superb effort and excellent video. Thanks so much for this - I'm sure everyone to do with Lizzie will appreciate the chance to see this excellent coverage. Chris

[@robmasterman]

It doesn't get much better than this Martyn, congratulations to you both for capturing this once in a lifetime event, the sight of Lizzie on that bridge was the highlight of the whole event for me.........Bob

[@steamdriver12]

Fantastic footage of a historic event Martyn, well done and thanks for sharing.

[@1Z64]

Thanks Brian. It was a most enjoyable day's recording and at least the rain held off for that part of the pageant.

[@1Z64]

Thank you Dave. Sometimes when you're videoing you sense that what you're capturing is something special. They don't come more important than this and we're glad it went so well.

[@1Z64]

Thanks for your comment. You're more than welcome.

[@Mikemixolydian]

Hope you get a chance to follow some of her other trips out of the London area this summer.

[@davidhst125]

A really excellent video - superb, thanks for sharing

[@johnmckenna1823]

The Princesses were to me the best looking archetypal steam locomotive. They were mighty powerful and picked up speed from a standing start very quickly

[@collieultimo]

An excellent video of a very special day

[@realjacklane]

Brilliant shots, as previously said, the beeb should take note.

[@1Z64]

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I haven't seen any non-TV footage of this moment. People I spoke to said the crowds would be so big that you wouldn't get near the bridge. It wasn't that difficult and I only arrived ten minutes before she arrived.

[@1Z64]

It was the highlight for me too Bob. We only got into position by the bridge about ten minutes before she arrived. People around us had been waiting for hours to see the Queen and weren't aware of the role that Lizzie was about to play. Non enthusiasts are often thrilled to witness the appearance of a steam loco but the rapturous applause on this occasion was something else.

[@Mikemixolydian]

Great coverage of a fantastic event. I agree Lizzie's crew shall be thrilled should they run into this video.

[@Linesider1]

Absolutely superb video - the BBC could learn from it! Thanks, David.

[@1Z64]

Thanks very much. I hope they see it too and are aware that to many on here were the highlight of the event.

[@1Z64]

Thanks very much Steve. No mention of "steam trains" or "moving off whilst blowing its horn" here.

[@1Z64]

Thank you for commenting and i'm glad you liked it.

[@1Z64]

Thank you. It was a pleasure to capture.

[@chasingthesteam]

i was at warwick parkway waiting in the rain for this. was a little disappointed that there wasn't more decoration on the loco but i guess the weather may have decided that. I'm glad you got the engine leaving the bridge at start of the pageant as that was the best bit for me.

[@84asrd84boxy]

Historic event, superb video, well done...Bill

[@29alder]

This footage is excellent, well done!

[@1Z64]

Thank you for your comment you're most welcome.

[@1Z64]

Thanks guys. I'm glad you liked it.

[@Katzhaus]

Absolutely Brilliant, thanks so much!

[@robertcharlessceats3647]

"Lizzie" at her very best. 10 carriages and not a diesel in sight! Fabulous

[@siobhan104]

What a day out for Lizzie. Superb. What it must have been like for the crew to stand her on the bridge and to start everything of?. And I'm not ashamed to say the last shot of her coming round the bend brought a little tear to the eye. All the best.

[@1Z64]

Thanks for commenting Dan. Glad you liked it.

[@1Z64]

Thank you Dave, most kind.

[@MarkMaddyGriff]

Fabulous footage, thumbs Up, I am really angry with myself for agreeing to work that day!

[@1Z64]

No trouble at all. I love producing these train videos with my brother and to make one that includes the Queen is unbelievable. Thanks for your praise.

[@1Z64]

Thanks very much.

[@Richardsrailway]

We shall never forget 😔🇬🇧💔🙏 R.I.P your majesty .

[@bobbypaluga4346]

Cool, Beautiful Art Deco cars

[@1Z64]

Thank you John. You're welcome and i'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@1Z64]

You are very welcome. Thanks for the comment and the sub.

[@1Z64]

Thank you very much.

[@1Z64]

Thank you, i'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@honestjoe1000]

Fantastic!! Beautiful film of a wonderful engine on a lovely day! a feat of logistics too by the sound of it. And I agree with Linesider1 re: BBC! Superb.

[@HughFromAlice]

Great little mini doco that a steam enthuisiast would really appreciate! You got some great shots at speed. Pretty amazing that a steam engine would be chosen to start of the ceremonies!! Just shows that the UK is - by far - the capital of preserved steam. 6201 is a bit of a favourite of mine since she was on the only UK steam excursion I've been on... Kings X to York rtn... good value, as she seemed to be purring along at her max permitted speed most of the way…☁☁☁☁☁⁘⁙⁙Hᴜɢʜ….TU…..ツ

[@SatNavDan]

Excellet video. Well done. Liked :)

[@MrKnowwun]

good effort! lot of hard work there -

[@1Z64]

Cheers mate. It's always a pleasure.

[@1Z64]

I don't know. But at a guess I'd say that it's SS Barking, a motor tug built in 1928 at the Faversham shipyard of J Pollock and Son & Co Ltd. It was converted to steam by its current owner.

[@foxcell]

Excellent video :-D

[@djburland]

Fabulous

[@nathan83699]

6:49 what kind of boat was that at the river thames and btw i like the boat with the whistle at 6:47

[@OfficialMidlandsRailwayChannel]

Excellet video.

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

I've saw that loco on TV on bbc1

[@1Z64]

Thanks Gavin it's a pleasure.

[@LeamingtonSteve]

Better than the BBC coverage- more informative!

[@nathan83699]

1:22 what was that another steam train whistling at 6201?

[@youtubular16]

On which bridge was 6201?

[@1Z64]

Thanks very much. Never mind, pencil in the platinum jubilee in ten years time.If she's anything like her mother then she'll still be going at ninety six.

[@bstrutt]

I enjoyed your excellent video so much ,I wish i could do as well ,but have only one camera and limitied finances Thank you very much

[@johndanthethird]
