The great Italian tenor brought Cunard's naming ceremony to a close
People in the crowd were reduced to tears as Andrea Bocelli delivered a rousing performance to draw Cunard 's naming ceremony at Liverpool's Pier Head to a close.
On behalf of the city of Liverpool, the luxury cruise line selected five Liverpool 'icons' to represent the city and name Queen Anne officially. They are Spice Girl Melanie C, broadcaster and community leader Ngunan Adamu, restaurant entrepreneur Natalie Haywood, Liverpool music and cultural legend Jayne Casey, and British Olympic heptathlete Katarina Johnson-Thomson.
Lyn said: "It was fabulous, we loved it. We love that Cunard chose to hold the event in our city - it's a big part of Liverpool. "The performances were great - we both cried at Bocelli, he was amazing. We're staying for the evening now as well. "To be standing alongside such incredible women and seeing their list of achievements took me aback. To be included with those women and to see all the people out, with such a big turnout, it's been such an amazing day - one that I didn't expect when I woke up this morning."
