Cobh plans royal send-off for QE2

The luxury liner will arrive in Cobh ahead of schedule at around 2pm today. The change came when it was decided she wouldn’t visit Cherbourg due to weather conditions.

It will be the last time the QE2 ties up at the town’s deep water quay, before she sails to the Palm Jumeirah in Dubai where she will be permanently berthed as a floating hotel.
