The sight of a majestic cruise ship sailing along the River Tyne is always a popular one, and ships don't get much more impressive than Cunard's Queen Victoria.
When the 294m long liner arrived in port on Sunday morning, crowds of people turned out along the river banks to see her cruise past. And if you'd like to wave her on her way out, here's what you need to know.
After returning from a winter in Barbados, the luxury ship will see out on its first voyage from Southampton on April 27. Before that, it's set to spend two weeks in the North East, and will sail from the Port of Tyne on Sunday, April 24.
