PS Waverley

When I was coming back from my bike ride this morning, I couldn't work out why the town was so busy. It turned out that the Waverley was about to visit. It's said to be the last seagoing passenger paddle steamer in the world. Built in 1947, then restored in 1973, I don't recall it coming up the river before. Not a brilliant image, but the quay was very crowded, and I still had my bike. 
Extra: This pre 1963 Royal Navy fire engine was used to spurt jets of water into the air, hopefully not on the passengers.
