Re: Three Queens Liverpool Visit.
It did not show much, I was disappointed, just a lot of old stuff that I have seen many times, It was good to see that, with Ritchie Barton and Billy Harrison, from the original Cunard Yanks film. but a show on its own, hardly saw the Queens until the end.
They could have given at least an hour ,
Cheers
Brian

Re: Three Queens Liverpool Visit.
I thought that it was going to be about the three days that we have just had on the Mersey interesting but a bit disappointing.I hadn't heard this mentioned before,a guy on the radio today said that when the three Queens were doing the river dance there were pilots aboard the tugs directing operations also.

At lunchtime Monday 25th May Cunard’s fleet of three Queens became the biggest ships ever to sail in
formation on the Mersey when flagship QUEEN MARY 2, QUEEN ELIZABETH and QUEEN
VICTORIA performed a meticulously planned series of manoeuvres to mark the company’s 175
anniversary and to salute Liverpool, its spiritual home, where the company began in 1840. The ships
performed a ‘river dance’ against the backdrop of Liverpool’s Three Graces, a world heritage site which
includes the Cunard Building, the company’s headquarters from 1916-1967. Hundreds of thousands of
spectators gathered on both sides of the river to watch one of the biggest events in the history of the
Mersey.
