Glad it got to you safely!

The only jigsaw better travelled than that one, is probably the ones that travelled around the world on board QE2!

Hi Rob - Thanks very much for your post.  What has been the itinerary of this jigsaw ?  Perhaps we can keep it going on its world-wide travels.  June

Evening 2 of the QE2 jigsaw.  Even in a puzzle picture, she is absolutely beautiful, awesome, majestic, and powerful !

The order in which you assembled the jigsaw, is a bit different from ours! But there were three of us, and we each took a different side of the table, once the frame had been laid.

Hi Isabelle - Thank you very much for your post.  The jigsaw is quite a well-travelled jigsaw.  As Rob said, probably the most travelled jigsaw aside from the ones on QE2 herself.  Actually, once I had outlined the puzzle, the next three parts I did were "Queen Elizabeth 2", "Cunard", and her bow also.  Hopefully, I will be able to finish tonight.  Anyone interested in being the next "builder" ?  June

Go on -- Christmas is coming, and this is the jigsaw season! Family evenings reminiscing about QE2... the jigsaw will be ideal for boosting those lovely memories...!

Good work June!  I remember the sky, and the windows of the skyscrapers most... oh and the QE2's windows...

Hi Rob - Thank you very much for your post and kind words.  Evening three, and the QE2 jigsaw puzzle is finished.  I had not done a jigsaw puzzle in quite some time.  I enjoy doing them very much and had a great time fitting together our QE2 in puzzle form.  Attached are some photos including some close-ups.  Who is the next person in line for the jigsaw ?  June

Hi Isabelle - Thanks very much for your post.  Yes, the puzzle has already been seen by four of my students, and there was considerable discussion concerning QE2 prior to each lesson.  And, I just found out that one of our faculty members has travelled extensively on QE2.  Her face brightened with the mention of QE2.  June

QE2 has that effect on people who know her and have travelled on her. 

Seeing the jigsaw completed brings back memories of the sense of achievement when the jigsaw was finished and the delight of taking time to stand and stare and remember this great ship. 

I wonder who will be next to volunteer and which part of the world the jigsaw will go to next. 
I was proud to be involved with planning QE2's 50 year conference in September 2017 in Clydebank

Hi June,  I have tried a few ways to thank Isabelle for all the work that she has done for me in posting the Ruby topic, the only one she wants is (youv'e guessed it) for me to have a go at said jigsaw, along with pictures, so bring it on!, it's the least I can do to repay Isabelle. Send me a PM as to logistics please,
     Pete.......

Hi Lynda - Thank you very much for your post.  Yes, I am in agreement with all that you have said.  QE2 is so very special.  June

Hi Pete - Thanks very much for your post.  I will be more than pleased to send QE2 on her way to your house for "building".  PM forthcoming.  June
