Victoria Summers said she was the latest in a long line of family members to work for
Cunard
Also on board were local couple Sandra and John Boggan from Bebington, Wirral
who said they had chosen to go on the tour because they wanted to sail in and out of
Liverpool.

"Coming into the Mersey this morning was incredible," Ms Boggan said.
The couple, who have travelled on other Cunard ships including the Queen Victoria,
after watching the Three Queens display in 2015, said the Queen Anne was a
"beautiful ship", "high spec" and "very special".

Susan Smith and Rosie Dunning from Liverpool, who had come to the Pier Head
especially to see the ship, said they were "taken aback" at how big it was.

"To see this is just everything really," Ms Smith said.

"I've never been on a large ship, only smaller ones. It's amazing."

Liverpool was the birthplace of Cunard with its first transatlantic crossing departing
184 years ago in July 1840, and it was the company’s headquarters for 128 years.
