Queen Elizabeth Maiden Voyage: The VideosIf like us you missed it, we thought we’d collect a few videos for you to experience it. We’ve put them in the same order as they were shot.

The first (below) was taken from the deck of the Red Eagle (the service that Red Funnel put on). Given how close the ship got to the QE, we’d have thought that those who were on board the Red Eagle would have been pretty pleased with the uninterrupted views it afforded.

On the next leg of the journey, the one below, was shot from Castle Point at East Cowes
