I was sad to miss the QE2 coming in to Stanley - came down from MPC with one of the docs, who'd hoped to see a relative who was sailing on her. Great to hear the flybys came off though.
Last time I saw her she was moored off Anstruther in the Firth of Forth during the Open in St Andrews. Year was 2001 if I remember right. She was used as a floating hotel for spectators. It will be sad to see her go.
