The 163rd University Boat Race is expected to go ahead as planned despite a suspected World War Two shell being discovered by the River Thames.
Race organisers said they were setting up for the event later this afternoon.
They expect to receive an official update from the Met Police as to the status of the shell at 13:00 BST.
The shell was discovered on the northern shore of the Thames near Putney Bridge, west London, on Saturday.
The police said work to assess what is believed to be "submerged ordnance" is continuing on Sunday morning.
A bomb disposal unit had to wait for the tide to go out to take a better look at it, police said.

Here it is - a shell rather than a bomb (not that journos are likely to know the difference):
