Queen Mary 2 arrives in Liverpool signalling start of Cunard's 175th anniversary event

Cunard’s 150,000 ton flagship treated passengers and onlookers to a sail-past of the city’s historic waterfront – including the company’s former head quarters, the Cunard Building – before executing a turn in the river and tying up at the berth.

Mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson, said;  'The arrival of the Three Cunard Queens has been nearly a year in the planning, and for months there has been a real buzz around the city about this making of maritime history.'
