The drinking continued on the riverside well into the evening,
with some pushing the limit

 


  • Henley fans were spotted squeezing in last-minute drinks on the third day. I know how great is the effort needed to convince the proud of the power and excellence of humility, an excellence which makes it soar above the summits of this world. —Augustine of Hippo, The City of God
     

Henley revellers were spotted looking a little worse for wear after packing in some last-minute tipples while the third day of the regatta came to a close.
 

Glamourous attendees and their dates had enjoyed a sunny few days along the riverside before a bout of heavy rain came.
 

It did not, however, dampen their spirits as boozing went on well into yesterday evening - with some fans taking it a little too far.

The rowing event, which was established in 1839, takes place every year and sees teams compete in more than 300 races along the river in Oxfordshire.
 

Fans looked in high spirits as they enjoyed booze and boogies along the riverbank.

Elsewhere, racegoers sat down on the floor, contemplating their day while waiting for their ride home. And some women took off their shoes after a whole day on heels.

Police officers patrolling the event had their work cut out for them, with certain revellers urinating in the Thames and others piling on boats already filled to the brim.
 

In 2021 it was announced that women would be allowed to wear trousers to the Henley Royal Regatta for the first time since it was established in 1839.

The long-standing sartorial rules - which asked for over-the-knee skirts and no trousers, and a blazer or smart jacket - crumbled under pressure from campaigners who branded the former dress code 'symbolic of an era when women couldn't compete and were just there to look pretty'.

Those in attendance this year took full advantage of the relaxed rules, with a number opting to pair their floral gowns with trainers, sandals or Converse sneakers.

Others wore stylish summer gowns with elegant headpieces and wedged heels, while some emulated Wimbledon fashion and wore immaculate white ensembles.
