Queen Elizabeth 2 Launches Queen Elizabeth With White Wine (Photos)

by | 11th, October 2010

QUEEN Elizabeth II pressed the button that released the bottle of white wine (there’s a recession on and saving must be made when launching a 92,000-tonne floating hotel) that smashed into the hull of Cunard’s newest cruise ship, the Queen Elizabeth in Southampton.

Jimmy Savile was there, too. No gold lamé tracksuit. Jimmy’s a patriot. He would not upstage the Queen. (And him related to The Duchess, and all.)

We also spotted: Sir Ben Kingsley, Carol Vorderman, Judith Chalmers, Esther Ranzen and former Coronation Street actress Liz Dawn; all of whom could play the Queen art various stages of her life…
