Hundreds gathered at priers and marinas across Southampton to get a glimpse of the Queen Anne as she sailed into the city.

These images by Stuart Martin show crowds of onlookers gathered at the Hythe Marina to see the newest addition to the Cunard fleet as it travelled into Southampton on Tuesday. 

The highly anticipated ship came into the port at around 7.15pm on Tuesday and is set to go on its maiden voyage to La Coruna and Lisbon on May 3.

Queen Anne is the first ship to join the Cunard fleet in 14 years and will take around 3,000 cruise passengers on journeys across the globe.

The ship will also be making voyages to 60 destinations across 16 counties.
