Close to 200,000 people are estimated to have visited the fleet in the two areas over the past two days, with the Sunday crowd expected to match that. Monday's Parade of Sail will drawn even more down to the river side to watch the spectacle.

Today many of the ships have carried out crew changes, with the race crews now on board. The day before departure is traditionally the day when crews get their first opportunity to explore the ship and, on the Class A ships, climb the mast. Meanwhile other crew members are enjoying the hospitality and tours being arranged for them by Liverpool.  (Photograph courtesy of Sail Training International)
