Solent Richard took up position at Hythe Marina to witness the evenings events: this is how my wife and witnessed the celebrations.

We arrived at the Hythe Marina just before 7.00 pm and the crowds were already gathering…

Having satisfied ourselves that this was a good position to witness the evening’s celebrations we retired to the Boathouse Restaurant for a spot of Dinner.

Our return to the waterfront was well timed as we then witnessed Queen Mary 2 edging out from Ocean Terminal, Queen Victoria having already joined Queen Elizabeth at the QEII Terminal…

Spot on 10.00 pm the firework display started. There were 10 minutes of fireworks, one minute for each year of her life.

Why not follow the link to my Cruise Blog and see the videos of the firework display, the three ship's Horn Salute and the silhouette of Queen Mary 2 sailing past Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth...
