Danny Collier stands on deck aboard his boat, the Princess Freda on the river Thames in London,  Friday, May 8, 2020. Danny and his brother  John Collier are the proud owners of the boats the Princess Freda, the Queen Elizabeth, the Connaught and the Clifton Castle. All four boats have had their moment in the sun. And all four were meant to have another on Friday as Britain celebrates the 75-year anniversary of Victory in Europe Day. Instead, they're lying idle on the banks of the River Thames, not far from Kew Gardens in southwest London, as the festivities surrounding VE Day have been all but cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. For the brothers it’s nothing less than a disaster, one that could spell the demise of the company their late father created in 1975. (AP Photo/ Vudi Xhymshiti)
