When QE2 arrives in Liverpool on Friday, it will be getting a very special welcome, according to an article in the Liverpool Post.
It will likely be one of the last visits for the liner often called the most famous in the world as it is being retired next year by Cunard. This particular cruise is a special one in honor of its 40th anniversary that sails around Britain. The city of Liverpool is also using this visit to open its new passenger terminal, so that's just reason to make the celebration all the more special. To add even more meaning to the occasion, Liverpool was also the original home of Cunard Line.
The celebration includes dignitaries (of course), concerts, fireworks and even a commemorative book being sold.
