Just a reminder that the festival finale , The Parade of Sail takes place today, when all of the Tall Ships that have come to Royal Greenwich for the Tall Ships Festival take to the Thames together .

The ships will gather near Maritime Greenwich at around 12 noon, before departing eastwards in the Parade of Sail along the Thames towards Tilbury from around 1.30pm.

• The first ship will leave Greenwich at around 1.30pm.
• It is then expected to cross Woolwich at about 2.30pm.
• It can take as much as two hours for all the ships to pass a particular point on the river
