Cunard's flagship liner, the Queen Mary 2, looms over Liverpool's skyline as she continues on her last-minute luxury voyage celebrating the coronation of King Charles III.
The 79,000-tonne ocean liner slipped into the city's cruise terminal last night, ablaze with yellow light, as crowds gathered on both sides of the river to watch the spectacle. On board, guests enjoyed all the staples of a typical Cunard Line cruise ahead of the grand celebration planned for Saturday, May 6.
Cunard acting senior vice president Angus Struthers said: "We wanted to provide an opportunity for our guests to enjoy an unforgettable, very special and unique celebration of the Coronation. What better way to mark this momentous occasion than being on board our majestic flagship Queen.”
