Let’s hope Gary can get his pictures on board - mine are blurred (due to a slow shutter speed. That’s my excuse anyway!). In the meantime I’m posting some of mine in the hope that they reveal the atmosphere of the occasion.
The first pic is of the queue to get on the catarmaran - getting cold and very wet.
Fortunately the rain then eased off and finally stopped.
The Queen Mary2 backing out.
The other queens.
Taking up her position for the fireworks (with the other two queens facing each other at their berths).
Passing Queen Elizabeth.
Passing Queen Victoria

Queen Victoria following Queen Mary2 out to the Solent.
Our trip ended before the Queen Elizabeth left. (She was going to have to turn on setting off.)
It was a great experience. We got home at 1 a.m.!
