5. Sailing By at Henley-on-Thames

Episode 5 of 5

Lemn Sissay visits his last pub with the Queen's name to meet her subjects. Does Henley-on-Thames have a darker side? From 2006.

Henley On Thames in Oxfordshire has a reputation as a chocolate box town and host to the grandeur of the Royal Regatta.

But is there something darker happening in the bistros and the 4x4s?

Concluding his tangential celebration of the Queen's 80th birthday, poet Lemn Sissay meets more of Her Majesty's subjects in pubs that bear her name.

Producer: Philip Sellars
