England’s chief medical officer and key workers honoured in ‘superhero’ charity raft race

Participants in the Thames Water Raft Race sailing down the River Thames near Reading Berkshire, to raise money for charity WaterAid.

Rowers dressed as superheroes and the UK's key workers were seen guiding their homemade rafts down the river Thames as a charity boat race made its return this year.

The Thames Water Raft Race, which has been running for more than two decades, was cancelled last year because of Covid-19.
