Cunard's Four Queens assembly

The spectacle is expected to draw over one million visitors to the Liverpool and Wirral waterfronts, marking a world-first for the luxury cruise line.

The assembly will celebrate the company's long-standing connection to its spiritual home, where it was founded over 180 years ago.

A similar event in the past featuring three of the Queens brought massive crowds and a display by the Red Arrows.

Local officials are already preparing for the significant economic boost the assembly is predicted to bring to the region.
