Video: Queen's Diamond Jubilee: A day at the Thames Pageant with the injured soldiers of boat number 1,000 "Thankfully I got to see today and join the whole trip up the Thames to join the pageant," said Corporal Ricky Fergusson, who lost both legs, five fingers and an eye in an IED explosion in Afghanistan in 2010. "It's a once in a lifetime event and it's an amazing feeling," he added. The vessel, whose boat number in the pageant was 1,000, is owned by the Lyneal Trust, a charity which provides holidays and canal boat trips for people with disabilities and their families. Money raised as a result of their trip will be donated to the Lyneal Trust as well as Help For Heroes, the Army Benevolent Fund and The Royal British Legion.
