The Queens at Southampton 24 July 2007

7th August 2007

It was a bright blustery day on on of the rare occasions that both the current Cunard Queens, Queen Elizabeth 2 and Queen Mary 2, were in port at Southampton. A few memorable pictures whilst the sun was out, and many more in cloud, but the pictures in this collection will form a memento of one of the last few meetings of these two fine ships in their home port
