My friend and composer on many of my movies, Mark Blackledge, was the second camera.

Of London's three cruise docks, Tower Bridge is the most cherished. Right in the heart of London, at Queens Wharf where HMS Belfast sits right opposite the Tower of London, is where the Silver Dawn and a few other small cruise ships stay for one or two nights each visit.

Even the busiest commuter will stop to watch the iconic bridge lift, and most pull out a camera to capture a cruise ship sail through.

The cruise ship Silver Wind makes a spectacular sight going through the neogothic Bascule bridge which was built in 1894. About 40,000 people uses the bridge a day, but they all must wait if a ship wishes to go through. It is free to lift, but notice must be given.

The Silver Wind is a luxury ship, which brings her 274 guests right into the heart of London when on a British Isles tour. In 2018 she had a major upgrade and then a re-fit in 2021 and she now has a reinforced Ice Class hull, just in case the Thames freezes over.

Here she is at Tower Bridge where she had two overnights just after the coronation of King Charles III. The bridge sees over 40,000 people use it each day and it lifts when required. The engine room is manned 24/7.
