Sydney flocks to harbour for Prince Harry

SYDNEY Harbour is glistening as thousands poured into the city to get a glimpse of the International Fleet Review - and if they're lucky Prince Harry too.

With drinks and ice creams in hand, spectators filled up major vantage points on Saturday afternoon as helicopters and navy planes buzzed overhead and the temperature hit the high 20s.

The Sydney Opera House and East Circular Quay vantage points have hit capacity, the Transport Management Centre said at noon.

But that hasn't stopped huge groups of people walking off trains and buses to watch the celebrations and hopefully catch a glimpse of special guest Prince Harry.

The 29-year-old royal is being taken around the harbour in HMAS Leeuwin to inspect warships, which are taking part in the International Fleet Review.

Among the royal enthusiasts is 20-year-old Victoria McRae who was towed out of Sydney Harbour by the Water Police after she got on a kayak and waved a flag saying "I (heart) you Harry" and added her mobile phone number to it.

She will now try and find the charming young prince among the thousands of people lined up all around Sydney Harbour.

"He's an eligible bachelor, I thought I might be in with a chance," Ms McRae said.

The Prince is expected to meet spectators at an unconfirmed location later on Saturday afternoon.

The Fleet Review marks 100 years since the Royal Australian Navy fleet sailed into Sydney Harbour and a procession of boats from around the world are taking part in the celebrations.

The Fireworks and Lightshow Spectacular kicks off at 7.30pm at Sydney Harbour.
