Lynda - thank you very much - and looking forward to opening the document
Please - is there a way that you can post it in Word as a doc - without an x (that is .doc rather than .docx ??)
Very many thanks - what with this, the photo competition, spammers and all things besides - you must the busiest person Ever, on the Forum!

Rosie can you check if this works for you
I was proud to be involved with planning QE2's 50 year conference in September 2017 in Clydebank

Yes - and Thank You very much, Lynda

I notice that the grounding near 'Martha's Vineyard' is an event suggested for commemorating QE2 in August.
As the incident off Cutty Hunk Island  continues to hold memories that remain particularly difficult,
instead - please do you think it would be possible for the following anniversary to be included?

'August 4 2000: The passengers, Master, and ship's Crew sent a message to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth,The Queen Mother congratulating her on attaining her 100th birthday'

Alternatively, you might prefer:
August 9 1990: QE2 completes her 500th transatlantic crossing, Southampton to New York

In no way would we expect anything to be censored on the Forum.
However, hopefully it might be possible to make things easier next August!
