Hungerford Arcade friend, George who you may remember from our Classic Vehicle Shows (he has the Rolls Royce Silver Shadow III). Today however, George has got his sea legs on and is sailing away on a luxurious cruise on none other than the Queen Mary 2. Wow!!! Look below at the wonderful photographs George kindly sent to us.
The Queen Mary 2 was designed by a team of British naval architects led by Stephen Payne. The new ship was named Queen Mary 2 by Queen Elizabeth II in 2004 after the first RMS Queen Mary of 1936. Queen Mary was in turn named after Mary of Teck, consort of King George V. With the retirement of Queen Elizabeth 2 in 2008, Queen Mary 2 is the only transatlantic ocean liner in line service between Southampton, England and New York City, United States, operating for a part of each year. The ship is also used for cruising, including an annual world cruise.
