AS QE2 arrives in her new home of Dubai, a royal welcome has greeted the former Southampton liner.

There was a flypast by an Emirates Airline double decker Airbus A380 as well as a huge flotilla of boats, including the world's largest yacht, My Dubai, owned by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai and vice-president and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates.

Was Prince Charles there - he is a great friend of this family. I look on it - easy come easy go - good bye QE2 - its a matter of the baubles in their back yard now. Now, what can we put our expertise to - rebuilding Soton!

I bet the Arabs will bung a minaret on top of the funnel then call the faithful to prayer.

They can then gloat over the poor impoverished infidels back in the UK and USA.

QE2 Woolworth MFI and more to come

Sheesh!
