Queen Elizabeth 2 Fireworks
On the 2nd January 2007, QE2 returned from her Christmas & New Year cruise to prepare for her annual world cruise.  It had been announced in the local paper there would be fireworks at 4.45pm to celebrate it being her 25th world cruise lasting ten minutes before she sailed at 5pm.  The marina was quite packed as the time approached but I don't think the hundreds along the water they'd anticipated turned up.
4.45pm came and went.  The Hythe ferry even stayed at the pontoon several minutes before moving away.  At around 4.55pm, Lizzie gave one blast and the fireworks started.
