It's like a garden party afloat at Henley-on-Thames as the crowds line the river for the famed Regatta. Princess Grace and Prince Rainier are here to see a German crew beat the American Vesper Eight as they set a new course record. In the single sculls, Don Spiro of New York beats out his British rival, also setting a new course record. Many people in their row boats enjoying the day on the Thames. Prince Rainer and Princess Grace of Monaco. People sitting in this long boat, motorized with a canopy. People at a Thames side bistro enjoying food and drinks and enjoying the regatta. Two teams Americans (white jerseys) racing the Germans, and the German team wins. The single races or the famed diamond skulls, Don Spiro of New York takes on Britain, and Don Spiro from New York wins.
