The Princess Royal today visited The Tall Ships’ Races fleet and spent time talking to a number of captains and trainees before boarding Jens Krogh from Denmark, where she chatted to Captain Bo Rosbjerg and some of the trainees. The Princess then boarded Ocean Spirit of Moray from the UK, where she chatted to Captain Ian Lerner and a number of the trainee crew members, many of whom are also pupils at Gordonstoun School.

After a quick cup of tea with the Ocean Spirit of Moray crew, Princess Anne boarded a small launch for a tour around Albert Dock. Crowds of people waved and cheered as she passed.
