|
||
Camilla, who is Godmother of the 90,000-ton Cunard vessel after naming it two
|
||
years ago, unveiled a plaque to mark the 170th anniversary of the company's
|
||
first transatlantic crossing from Liverpool.
|
||
|
||
Hundreds of passengers and well-wishers lined the decks and the banks of the
|
||
River Mersey to see the Duchess, who was forced to shelter from the rain under
|
||
an umbrella.
|
||
|
||
Camilla was met by the ship's Captain, Paul Wright, who took her on a tour
|
||
which included one of the six galleys which cater for the 2,000 passengers and
|
||
900 crew.
|
||
|
||
She also stopped to talk to cruise-goers before visiting the bridge and
|
||
sounding the horn of the vessel.
|
||
|
||
The Queen Victoria is currently midway through a tour of the British Isles.

Robert and Sheila McGuiness, from Newcastle, Staffordshire, were on their
|
||
second holiday aboard the ship.
|
||
|
||
Mrs McGuiness, 65, a retired pub owner, said: ''We went around the world on
|
||
the Queen Victoria last year and we have come back this year because we had a
|
||
wonderful time.
|
||
|
||
''I am excited to see Camilla and I think she will feel at home because, even
|
||
though it is a cruise ship, it feels like a palace once you're inside.''
|
||
|
||
Capt Wright said: ''After naming the ship in Southampton, the Duchess will
|
||
always be part of the Queen Victoria's history and a welcome guest on board.
|
||
|
||
''This is also a big year in the history of Cunard and we are delighted she is
|
||
helping with the celebrations.''
|
||
|
||
Before departing, Camilla cut a giant cake and accepted a posy from the
|
||
youngest member of the ship's crew, 21-year-old Maria Del Pilar Garcia, from
|
||
Argentina.
