Henley Royal Regatta gets underway today.

There's a record entry for the regatta this year with 772 competitors across 27 nations taking part.

Over the next five days they'll fight it out to compete in 26 final races on Sunday.

Although this summer's Olympics means some national squads will be missing the famous regatta, there will be several top competitors using Henley as a warm up for Paris.
