Yes June, this documentary features an interview with Commodore Marr when he was quite old and he recalls the Queen Mother's visit to the Queen Elizabeth before her last voyage.

In addition to the interview with the Captain in the documentary, there is some really good film footage that covers the history of the ship.

I believe there is a book about Captain Rostron recently published by Conway Press. I do have his book "home from the Sea" which I bought because he was master of the Mauretania.

I wasn’t quite sure where to post this, but I noticed this picture today on Cunard’s Instagram story and would I be right in saying that that is Commodore Grattidge on the left?

Hi Olivia - Thanks for posting.  I think that is Commodore Grattidge, second from left.   :)
