Journalist and Media contact information and press releases are available here.
Major News article about QE2
In the run up to the conference, The QE2 Story was contacted by a Mirror Online journalist who was putting together a story on QE2’s 50th anniversary, and our conference. We helped the journalist with press releases, imagery and connecting her with the people interviewed for the article.
The QE2 Story’s Motto is “Keeping The Legend Alive” and we believe that by helping make this article possible, we did exactly that.

Not long to go now, until we bring a bit of the excitement from 50 years ago, back to Clydebank.
