Farewell to a Queen 1969-2008

This evening the Cunard Liner Queen Elizabeth 2, set sail on her final voyage. Sadly, she is to become a floating hotel in Dubai. She crossed the Atlantic many times from Southampton to New York, but she was most well-known for her duties as a Troop Ship during the Falklands War of 1982. Before The QE2 sailed a million poppies were dropped on her decks by a Tiger Moth to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Armistice. The end of an era.
