The 160th Oxford versus Cambridge Boat Race sets off from Putney this afternoon, and we want your pictures from the day.

The dark blues of Oxford will be hoping to retain the crown they won last year, when the beat their arch rivals by a length and a half.

The race gets underway at 5.55pm, with thousands of spectators expected to line the route from Putney Bridge to Chiswick Bridge to see the latest chapter in the historic boating duel.

And if you are heading to the Thames riverside to see the action, we want your pictures of the day.
