Queen Victoria Cunard ship arrives at Pier Head for special event

People watched on from the beach as the Queen Victoria cruise ship arrived in Liverpool ahead of a special event.

The Cunard ship, which can hold up to 2,061 guests and 913 crew, arrived at the cruise terminal at around 5pm on Friday, May 2. People gathered on the beach at New Brighton and along the promenade to capture the moment the boat came into the River Mersey on their mobile phones.

Queen Victoria is in Liverpool to roundoff the city's commemorations of the 80th anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic. At 11am on Saturday, June 3, Captain Evans Hoyt, the Master of Queen Victoria, will join guests from his ship at a Cunard Service of Remembrance at Liverpool Parish Church, Our Lady and Saint Nicholas. Civic dignitaries and veterans will also attend.
