Family and friends watch as a team takes their oars to the water on day one of the Henley Royal Regatta, set on the River Thames by the town of Henley-on-Thames in England. Established in 1839, the five day international rowing event, raced over a course of 2,112 meters (1 mile 550 yards), is considered an important part of the English social season.
