Newcastle is the first port of call for the QE2 on her 40th anniversary tour of the UK. She was due to sail into port at 4:30pm but due to strong winds it was called off, four attempts later she was able to sail up the Tyne at around 7pm, it was well worth the wait, the clouds had gone and the sun was setting.
She is due to leave for Edinburgh tomorrow.
Cheers, Chris 🙂

I was watching first and second attempts from the Priory with the wife and kids, bit cold and wet so decided to go home after second attempt, turned round when we saw her having a third attempt, decided definitely going home now, saw her coming in for the fourth attempt, dropped the wife and kids off and missed it all while trying to park again.
So it’s nice to see what actually happened! Best photos I’ve seen so far

I’m assuming that’s not the celebrity drugs and alcohol clinic ? :rolleyes:

She’s on the Clyde today for the 40th anniversary of her launch.
Docked at Greenock, a shame they couldn’t get her right up the river to the site of her birth.
