Sadley you cannot see Jupiter. I was on Jupiter that day as QE2 arrived. I had just went over to Dunoon to view her. The magic you felt coming over on her. It was nice to see so many boats out to see the lady. I am only young so I wasn't there to see the Caledonia, the Duchess's, the Waverley when she wasn't the last going sea paddle steamer in the world. I wish I was there but truely I am proud to be Scottish watching the QE2. A great video anyway!
Great Vid..just so Sad she'll be the LAST of the Clyde built Queens. France eh? Should have called them the Marie Antonets. British Queens should be built on the Clyde.
wonderful, wonderful, well done. beautifully shot and put together. What a sad yet triumphant day for the most successful ship of all time. I kept wishing she was coming home to stay for good, but that was just a pipe-dream...
I was there, on board Balmoral coming with her. Will never forget it.
Aye. A few of us are old enough and proud of what the River Clyde used to be famous for. It made the day all the sadder to be reminded. But I'm chuffed at the response this quick little video has got, maybe there is still plenty of pride left :) Thanks all for the comments!
I couldn't make it to Greenock today, so am sitting here with the box of Kleenex saying Goodbye to the Old Girl - was on her in 1967 when I was a wee lassie (daddy worked in "The Yard") and its so hard now to see her go...
What a fantastic day! I was lucky enough to be in a wee boat that kept her company off her starboard side all the way up from Little Cumbrae to Gourock. Scotland looked at her very best for the great ship's last visit. Btw - like your choice of music too! EricH

We'll never see her like again. What a gorgeous day and place to say goodbye, though.
Nice video and great choice of music.

It was good to be there today at Greenock and watch the QE2 sail in, but sad to know this is her final visit home.
Bon Voyage, QE2..
