The Queen Mary sailed under special secret orders to the United States and when she arrived in Britain subsequently she always berthed at Greenock in Scotland. The Mayor of Southampton as Admiral of the Port headed the official party which boarded the Queen Mary after she berthed.

Crowds along the foreshore waved and cheered and bands played on the quayside, while pleasure steamers ran trips lor sightseers.
