Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will name Cunard Line’s new Queen Elizabeth, the third Cunard ship to bear the name.


The ceremony will take place in Southampton on Monday 11 October 2010.

Cunard president and managing director Peter Shanks said: “The Queen launched Cunard’s Queen Elizabeth 2 in 1967 and named our current flagship, Queen Mary 2, in 2004. We are both honoured and proud that Her Majesty will name our new liner Queen Elizabeth.”

She was also present at the age of 12 at the launch of the first Queen Elizabeth on 27 September 1938 when she accompanied her mother, Queen Elizabeth, to Clydebank for the launch.
