There are still boat race articles to review? Oh, go on then....

Lead

[edit]
  • Is it worth saying it was Oxford's second win in a row, the only such time since the First World War, and that Princess Margaret attended? And maybe a brief summary of the race, such as the Grauniad's "most gallant finishing efforts"
    Have updated the lead a little. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:57, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Background

[edit]
  • "and broadcast worldwide" - was this the case in 1960? I seem to recall transatlantic / worldwide broadcasts only really got underway in the late 60s (example)

  • "the first member of the British Royal Family to attend the Boat Race in forty years." (on image caption) - I couldn't find the claim for this, but noticed it was down the bottom. Anyway, I've added a Guardian citation to the caption which I assume is correct
    Thanks, my bad. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:57, 20 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
