Welcome back to Theimagebanks and in this special edition the inspiration comes from the wonderful visit of the Three Queens of the Cunard shipping line, celebrating a 175 years. From the three Graces of Liverpool who stand on guard over the Liverpool’s waterfront a warm home coming was given to the three Queens.
175 YEARS
The visit of these three iconic and luxurious cruise ships to the city of Liverpool was certainly a once in a life time event for many people young and old alike. And many old connections and reunions were rekindled and new bonds were forged during the three days of celebrations. As always the river Mersey was once again the centre of attention as the world media descended to witness this spectacular event. The centre piece in the crown of the Cunard fleet is The Queen Mary 2 and her two sisters, The Queen Victoria and The Queen Elizabeth. For those who didn’t get a change to see these cruise ships they are in fact floating hotels oozing out sheer luxury that’s synonymous with the Cunard Line. The ships are so big that they dwarf the buildings on the waterfront. So the scene was set and on all sides of the river Mersey as people gathered in eager anticipation. The smaller ships buzzed up and down and raced around them with sheer excitement and in awe as they sailed into the Liverpool Bay.
