Queen Mary 2

Fresh from Cunard's 175th Anniversary celebrations in Liverpool the Queen Mary 2 sailed yesterday from the spiritual home of Cunard to surprise these young yachtsmen in St Peter Port as she came up to the anchorage. Sea conditions were ideal for tender operations and the liner spent a half day in Guernsey.

Two view points for the anchorage are on Clarence Battery (local name is the Cow's Horn), or on the cliff path to Fermain. In the trees above the Battery is one of the seats to enjoy the views.

The Queen Mary 2 is on a 10 day cruise around the British Isles, including the memorable visit to Liverpool, and Guernsey is her last port of call before heading back to Southampton. Tomorrow afternoon she will act in her iconic role as a transatlantic liner and leave for New York where she will arrive on the 3rd June. With Castle Cornet in the foreground, and  Herm in the background, the liner adds to this classic Guernsey view.
