Red Arrows perform air display over three Cunard ships

Passengers on board three Cunard Queens have witnessed a “stunning” display by the Red Arrows.

The flying display took place over Queen Mary 2, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria as they headed for the Isle of Wight on Friday.

Simon Palethorpe, senior vice president of Cunard, said: “To see the Red Arrow Display team flying over our three Queens was a stunning sight.

“It is a rare occasion for all our three to be together, especially on such a beautiful evening and our guests were very lucky to be witness to such a special event.

“I am sure it will make their cruises very memorable.”

Cunard hosted five children who won competitions to visit the three ships for a ‘captain for the day’ experience.

The winners had to write why they deserved to be a captain and they were judged on the creativity of their entries.
