Heat on, jackets off at Henley
THE heatwave has prompted stewards of the Henley Regatta to take the radical step of allowing gentleman in the Stewards' Enclosure to remove their jackets. It is the first time such casualness has been permitted for 33 years since the famously hot summer of 1976.
However, the stewards weren't completely throwing caution to the wind. As the mercury passed 27C a PA announcement said: "In view of the current high temperatures, gentlemen may remove their jackets but not their ties or cravats and only for the remainder of today."
