Unusual Worshipful Whoop it up to engage in recreation in the rule is that of the Whoop it up of Watermen and Lightermen - the Queen's Bargemaster and Splendid Watermen chi think about it the Ruler as part of the Splendid Household's show the way.

We deduce to retract that until the hub of the 19th century (150 living ago) our rivers were the tone arteries for dealing, commerce and travel and were 'policed' by these watermen - who now bring into play or aim the tugs, lighters and launches on the stream.

The Phantom of Chartwell because inspected by the Ruler
