In Camera ... Queen Victoria joins the Iron Men


The Cunard Liner Queen Victoria sailed into the Mersey this morning to a guard of honour from the iron men of Crosby beach. It was the vessel's first visit to Liverpool and unfortunately the weather did not do justice to the landscape of the Liverpool waterfront. It was a grey overcast morning at the beach, it had been raining earlier and the tops of the wind farm masts were disappearing into the thick low clouds. Further down river towards Liverpool the buildings appeared misty and grey through a driving mist.
This picture matches earlier images of the Queen Elizabeth 2 and the Queen Mary 2, having been taken from as closes as possible to the earlier pictures with the same figure in the left foreground.
