Thousands expected at boat show

More than one hundred thousand visitors are expected to descend on Southampton over the next 10 days for the UK’s largest on-water boat show.
The annual Southampton Boat Show will be opened by trans-Atlantic rower and television star Ben Fogle alongside global yachtswoman Dee Caffari.

From Friday, the show will feature tall ships to luxury motor yachts.

The city’s Mayflower park has been transformed into a boating haven with beach and a Treasure Island theme.
