There is no ship's whistle like the QE2 - it still makes me get goosebumps!

She telling QM2 to "get me OUT OF HERE and TAKE ME HOME to ENGLAND!"

QE2 - what a glorious Eb!!! So sad that she is in Dubai. She should be back where she was born!

I worked on QE2 for five years. Lots of very special memories too. However it's sad to see her just rotting in Dubai. An important part of my life

Reminds my of my beloved “Pa”. He sadly died in 1996. We had so many happy times on QE2. A proper ship.

QE2's whistle is unmistakable - easy to recognize (and always a welcome "voice").

QE2 needs to come home where she belongs.. great/emotional vid . thanks for sharing

Like a family member visiting an elderly relative at the retirement home.. "Please take me with you... don't leave me here..."

I loved the sound of the QE2 whistle not that the word whistle does it justice. It had so much depth unlike the new QM2. I remember listening to her when she came to Liverpool and you could hear it echo all around the city buildings. Good luck to the QE2.

Such a lovely ship! I'm not even british, and it breaks my heart that she's not in the U.K.

I'm not even British...I'm Indian....but this video is Heartbreaking 😭😭😭

Thank you for this! The most 'royal' whistle of the seven seas!

I remember hanging out of on of the windows on the back deck of the QE2 on its last passage through the Panama Canal and was almost able to touch the sides. What an experience that was.

Very emotional footage, bring her back and park her next to the new transport museum on the Clyde. This is the ONLY place she should be, her true home. Saw her in Dubai last week, lights on, smoke coming out the funnel. As if she is ready and waiting to sail back to the UK....

I miss the QE2 so much.....*sob*

How sad the end for a Grand old Lady of the Sea!, The QE2, Far better that she be scuttled in mid Atlantic, than to end up in the hands of their ilk! What a tragedy!

QE2 certainly has a more impressive horn than QM2.

When will people realize that modern ships and trains don't have WHISTLES, they have AIR HORNS.

Sadly QE2’s magnificent horn no longer sounds like that today.

Sends shivers down my spine, Bring her back to the UK! Keep her is Southampton where she called home for 40+ years. Or take her to the Clyde where she was built NOT London which has no connection to this ship!

Love our queen's

Heartbreaking :' -(

best horn ever. clyde built ship,hopefully we can bring her back!

i agree with you so much i cant describe it.

Happily,the QE2 lives on as a hotel in Dubai,instead of going to the breakers.

Great video!

Unfortunately Dubai is where the money is , neither Southampton or Clydeside can afford to preserve a ship of the QE2s size and stature . The original Queen Mary was bought using oil revenues from Longbeach municipality, but I believe Disney own her. If I am correct the SS United States is on the wrong side of the country for Longbeach and would have to be towed through the Panama Canal or via Cape Horn both costing colo$$al amounts of $$$!

How about Great Britain buys QM off of Long Beach, in Return Long Beach agrees to use the money Turn the SS United States into, essentially the same thing as QM. That way we have an American built ship(One of the last ones) and you can have yours...Now im just thinking outside the box but that would be cool!

the Qe2 should have been given back to the city of her birth, Glasgow where the Queen Mary was also built but is in longbeach calafornia

Even though QE2's home port was Southampton, she deserves to be bought back up the Clyde where she was bulit and launched.

QE2's horn is far more impressive than QM2's.

bring her back to the clyde !!!

Is the QE2’s horn still functioning?

i agree with Fyssc she should be in the UK or in Glasgow were she was built shes is an icon to the UK

A powerful piece of footage, It made me shiver hearing the sound of those horns. It was a bit like 'Close Encounters' but 100x better. She needs to be brought back home, in UK were she belongs.

Bring qeen Mary back to UK and put QE2 next to it

Poor QE2. She should be in England of all places!

QM2: 00:51 QE2: 1:18

hello Queen Elizabeth 2

1:19 miss that sound. :(

@Norfolkscot As far as i am aware"untill some-one corrects me), and i worked on her, the QE2 has her very own horn. You can still check out the original Queen Mary whistle(horn), on you tube. Donald Smith.

@Cannaegetausername I thought bringing her back to Southampton (or the Thames Estuary) as a hotel ship for the Diamond Jubilee and Olympics. Then converting her into a dual hotel-museum ship, alternating between Southampton and the Clyde (just to keep her engines fresh).

QE2 should be located in Southampton, New York, Sydney or London as they’re considered her homes.

I believe the siren on the QE11 was the siren from the original Queen Mary. If so why was it not removed and reinstalled in one fo the new Queens. Being a Glaswegian I was fortunate in visiting QE11 in dry dock at Greenock. I saw Queen Elizabeth in John Brown's fitting out basin just one week before she left to sail non stop to New York.WW2. I saw the 'Ship Beautiful ' Aquitania at the Tail of the Bank on her last journey to Faslane.

Hope to bring our QE2 bk in Southampton where she belongs

QM2's horn is actually from the original Queen Mary.

we all should create a facebook groupe to encourage her new owners to move her back to UK and we could get some media attention.. look when betty white hosted SNL

Esta nave debe volver a Inglaterra urgentemente. Reina Isabel usted puede usted tiene autoridad y poder, La queen no puede estar sola alli abandonada con los Arabes ellos no entienden que significa un transatlantico como este con tanta historia, es un patrimonio de los Ingleses, Saludos Giulio Cocozza Vera

1:18 1:05

Aw ! Kind of sad,.really..I'm Canadian and don't know the ship but its sad, sounds lonely already,.So y is it going to Dubai of all places,.Doesn;t it belong elsewhere,.?

Qm2 has an industrial horn almost

im new and qe2 I miss her bring qe2 in to new York harbor

Makes me cry ! Why Cunard has made such a mistake of selling Britain's pride to this b....y country? QE2 deserves to return to UK her legitimate place.

at 2mins plus on this video did the back ground sounds like ARAB'S prayer sound?

@Flyssc1 I agree she neeed to be back in Clyde or UK and

Me: Humans can only whistle sounds and trains Ships:

@Flyssc1 I know that we all missed the ship but if you want to bring it back where it belongs from the dubai's you need a lot of money. EST-Euro6-7 million dollars >

you do realise qe2 was converted from from​ oil steam to a standard diesel

She should be brought home.

Queen Elisabeth

Can the QE2 have the same horn system as the QM: the horn blows every 12am, 3pm and 6pm

@Waverley125 she was built clydebank not glasgow

I am asking a millionaire in EUROPE or BRITISH to used your money to save QE2 from the ARAB or dubaider pls help this poor ship >>

i think he rode the Queen Mary 2

Theres no pride in this country anymore!!

News 2017: After years of decay the QE2 is actually undergoing work to become a centerpiece of a new marina in Port Rashid, Dubai. This is a several year project. The plan is on show, but details of the refit of QE2 are kept secret from the public, but photos show that something is going on. Of course we can't be absolutely sure before this project is completed but for now NO SCRAPPING is in sight!

@ least she wasnt scrapped . shudder the thought.

the ghost ship 👻🚢👻🚢👻🚢👻🚢👻🚢👻🚢

Dude sounds like that vet from the simpsons

The ship isn't moving. Get used to it!

Qe2 had not that horn i mean yas its his horn real also i know ther wad a movie here

QE 2 DISCUSTS ME.

Tiya....kapal Sia masuk ke Dubay katanya..............ku maha saya we laut mah punya ALLAH....bukan punya manusa..............

Next time, please don't talk while the horns are sounding. It takes away from the beautiful sound.
