Cunard - Queen Elizabeth Royal Naming Ceremony
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
Alistair Green presents the royal naming ceremony for the Cunard Line ocean liner Queen Elizabeth. This vessel marks the return of Cunard to a three ship fleet alongside the Queen Mary and Queen Victoria. The event features Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, who visits several key areas of the ship including the grand lobby, the Royal Court Theatre, and the bridge. During the tour, the Queen views a wood marquetry panel designed by David Lindley and a portrait of herself painted by Isabel Peachy. The ceremony includes a visit to the bridge where the Queen speaks with deck officers and officially blows the ship's whistle. The video highlights the historical connection between the monarchy and the cruise line, noting that the Queen is the only person to have been present at all three naming ceremonies for ships bearing her name. The proceedings conclude with the formal naming of the ship by Her Majesty, officially adding the new liner to the Cunard fleet.
