'Queen Mary 2 arrives in Sydney' Crosbie Lorimer Click Here to view large photo

The distinctive Cunard liner Queen Mary 2 slipped quietly into Sydney Harbour shortly after 5pm this afternoon and well after the harbour had cleared of the hundreds of yachts participating in the Audi Sydney Harbour Regatta.

Accompanied by a modest welcoming entourage the Queen moved gracefully up the harbour, spotlit by sunshine under greying skies.

' I did but see her passing by....'

Crosbie Lorimer watched her arrival from his home in Fairlight and captured these portraits of her highness.
