QE2 runs aground on final tour

The QE2 cruise ship has run aground as she came into her home port to make her final call.

A spokesman for Cunard was unable to say exactly where the grounding happened, but the BBC said the vessel touched the bottom at the Brambles sandbank near Calshot, Southampton, with three tugs attached to her stern.

Thousands of people are flocking to Southampton to bid a fond farewell to the famous vessel before it leaves on its final voyage.
