Super sequence Jim. It was my privilege to sail with her round the Med. earlier this year. A great experience, on a great ship. Good to see her given such respect in a great maritime City. Well done. Gerald.

For 25 years Liverpool MP Bessie Braddock fought for the rights of her socially deprived constituents.
Jim
I dedicate these photos to my Dad who sailed out of his home port of Liverpool for 18 years as a merchant seamen. He would have been proud to have seen the QM2 in his home town of Liverpool.

On the train, departing Wigan for Liverpool Lime Street.

Lime Street Station Liverpool
Jim
Ken Dodd meets MP Bessie Braddock.
Jim
..as stated here.
Jim
Outside the station. The Crown Hotel on Lime Street - "Oh! Maggie, Maggie May, they have taken you away, and you won't walk down Lime Street anymore", so goes the famous Liverpool song.
Jim
Crowds of people have turned out to see the Queen - they greeted her singing the Merseyside anthem "You'll never walk alone" and the passengers joined in - that's the Liver Building ahead.
Jim
..even I get in on the act.
Jim
From Liverpool she was sailing that night to Cork, then to Southampton and across to New York, arriving next Thursday. Let's nip on board for a quick look at the accomodation before she leaves.....
Jim
Next door is the Cunard Building.
Jim
And next door to that is The Port of Liverpool building - these make up the famous Three Graces
Jim
Walking through the city centre to the Pier Head.
Jim
First glimpse of her.
Jim
The City tour buses - Pay once - hop on and off all day.
Jim
The Liver Building and nearest the camera the Cunard Building..
Jim
..flying the Cunard flag.
Jim
..as is the QM 2..
Jim
as we approach this is her seen from the stern end....
Jim
A closer look at its clock and famous Liver bird.

Ferry cross the Mersey - the Royal Daffodil and other ferries took sightseers to see her come up the river.
Jim
The bottom of the Liver Building
Jim
The three Graces - Liver Building - Cunard Building - and the Port of Liverpool Building. Close by is the old White Star Line - and its balcony from which they announced the sinking of the Titanic.
Jim
...she had to turn around in the river so she was pointing downstream for her 11pm departure with a fireworks display.
Jim
A lucky passenger joining here at Liverpool takes his luggage aboard.
Jim
Now we are close up- and can see even the cooks are taking in the occasion.
Jim
She is just so big - as long as 41 double deck buses end to end.
Jim
Her name and funnel
Jim
One of the pilot boats that put the pilot on board to bring her up the River Mersey.

The gangplank down to the footbridge to shore.

The wide wings of the bridge, flying the Cunard flag.
Jim
She looks so sleek and graceful, perfectly designed for trans-Atlantic crossings. This lady is no top heavy run of the mill cruise ship.
Jim
Lots and lots of people enjoyed seeing her.
