Got a good picture, Send it in! Here are just a few sightings by our members whilst on their visits to the big smoke. There have been a catalogue of sightings every six years on the Thames. dating back to as early as 1666 – Have a look at the link Angelofthethames.com for the history (good site, but a bit dull!) We are going to be developing an online gallery. COMING SOON!!!

Party Time

The OFFICIAL Summer party – What a ball, the sunshine was beating down and the atmosphere was electric, with dancing and the usual discussions on the Angel, the Annual THANGY Summer bash went down like a storm – thanks to Beryl and the team for a great venue. We hope that Terry got cleaned up ok! and roll on the Embankment visit in August!!

Latest sighting on the Thames

EUREKA – Spotted by James (July) This visit to the embankment delivered, what they came for – this rare sighting of the Angel of Promise. It was 3.30 pm. Weather was slightly overcast. The ferry was the bright yellow one that hails from Greenwich pier. After a packed day down at the Cutty Sark and Maritime Museum, browsing through the stalls at Greenwich market they stepped on to the ferry, bought a coffee and little did they know they would actually witness what could be the Angel of promise
