Queen Elizabeth the new aircraft carrier enters Portsmouth Harbour for the first time

What a magnificent sight Nick, great shot... YS... John.

Hi John ~ Thank you ~ Portsmouth & Gosport were packed with spectators ~ All the best Nick

Rather dwarfs the harbour! Great shot!

She certainly occupies most of the narrow entrance to the harbour Andy, once through that and there is plenty of room :~)

Very nice indeed Nick .. i wondered if you were around for its arrival

Best wishes ... Steve

I've been waiting years for this moment Steve, my biggest fear was that I'd not be able to get down to Gosport due to business. As it was the Landi was in for a two day service and MOT' Luckily Isobel had a bit of spare time. So we rushed down late on Tuesday evening and returned to csp by 1610 hrs yesterday. There were enormous crowds of people watching. Som had even sat out all night to be sure of a good view!

WOW, what a view of the "Queen" Nick!! Love your POV :) great shot... YS!!
kind wishes, hugs, Sarah

This is just a fraction of the views we are lucky enough to enjoy from the balconies of my flat Sarah ~ Thanks for your Y* ~ Best wishes and hugs ~ Nick

Yep! I KNEW that's where you were perched !! :)) you lucky ole dog! :))) HUGS!

Woof, woof :~) hugs to you too ~~~

I knew you'd be down there to see her arrival, Nick. It's good to see that she managed to get from Scotland to England without demolishing the Forth bridges. ;-)

I'd been following her progress ever since she started to be built dear LGM and once she put to sea I've been tracking her. As you say the forth bridges were a bit of a challenge xxx

That's great, but I would prefer a cruiser.

We get loads of Cruisers sailing past and then into Southampton Dani, very few cruisers call into Portsmouth though, we get plenty of cross channel ferries going to France and Spain.

It looks big Nick! A great vantage point for this lovely shot!

Hi Rosa ~ Big it certainly is :~)

Hi Nick I thought you may have this on I saw it on the news on TV a big Ship with another one being built it must have been some sight to see. Y* here best wishes Alan.
