  • Hearing the QE2 sounding her horn is heart breaking. I am still convinced that selling her to Dubai was a big mistake. Her Shipness should be in the UK. Southampton or Bristol or Scotland where she was born. She is a British National Icon the same as Concorde and the Red Arrows. Please someone bring her back home where she belongs.

  • Very emotional footage, bring her back and park her next to the new transport museum on the Clyde. This is the ONLY place she should be, her true home. Saw her in Dubai last week, lights on, smoke coming out the funnel. As if she is ready and waiting to sail back to the UK....

  • I'm not even British, I'm American and I agree that she should be in England or Ireland where she belongs

  • Sends shivers down my spine, Bring her back to the UK!

    Keep her is Southampton where she called home for 40+ years.

    Or take her to the Clyde where she was built

    NOT London which has no connection to this ship!

  • it,s a fucking horn not a whistle. god dam fucking poms.

  • I loved the sound of the QE2 whistle not that the word whistle does it justice.

    It had so much depth unlike the new QM2.

    I remember listening to her when she came to Liverpool and you could hear it echo all around the city buildings.

    Good luck to the QE2.

  • 1:19 miss that sound. :(

  • the QE2 should be in clydebank docked beside the titan crane and not in Dubai :(

  • Such a lovely ship! I'm not even british, and it breaks my heart that she's not in the U.K.

  • yeh but they making a new QE now but she will always remain in our history

  • @Flyssc1 nope the rag heads have her now, lost forever!

  • @Waverley125 she was built clydebank not glasgow
