Cunard

Other landmarks including St George's Hall and the Cunard Building in Liverpool, the Mersey Gateway Bridge and Chester Town Hall will also be illuminated, as well as hospitals across the North West.

Cunard's newest cruise ship is set to arrive at its home port of Southampton.

The 113,000-tonne ship joins Cunard's fleet of queens - Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria.

Cunard took ownership of the ship during a traditional handover ceremony at the Italian shipyard in Venice on 19 April.

Speaking at the ceremony, Katie McAlister, president of Cunard, said: "Not only does she reflect the Cunard distinctive style on the outside, the inside perfectly echoes the brand heritage with reimagined, elegant spaces and designs."
