IT'S the most famous ship in the world. It has sailed more than 5.6million nautical miles - and carried 2.5m passengers. Now the QE2 is coming back home, for one last time.
The liner will be at Greenock on September 20 - 40 years to the day since its epic launch upriver at Clydebank - on a lap of honour around Britain.

Yer photo's of the Red Arrows are simply superb you've nailed the focus bang on with such a fast moving subject.
Do you take pics for a living? If not why not 
What kinda Camera set up are you using btw? |

I reckon she is using a canon EOS 350D with a lens capable of a 170mm focal length (I'm thinking 80-200?) and f/9
Embrace the power of EXIF
