They’ll be joined on stage by special guests from Cunard and the official

Godparent in the lead-up to the moment Queen Anne is officially named,

signified by the iconic smashing of a bottle of champagne against the ship.

Then from 8.30pm audiences will be treated to a further performance from
Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, before Liverpool actor and DJ, Craig

Charles, joins them on stage for a unique collaboration. Craig will keep the

party going until the grand finale, when Queen Anne sails away to a backdrop

of fireworks at around 10pm.
