You can be as negative as you want Gerard. You always tell us you say it as you see it. Me, i'm just on a feel good factor from another great day at the Liverpool Museum - again Liverpool is on the map for all the right reasons and what's good for the City is good for me in my book. Hope you don't mind me putting that.

I was very dissapointed in the coverage of todays event by the Echo ,if you disregard the Echo website then All they managed was a shot of the Queen arriving at Lime Street this morning . Time was when they would have covered the visit in full in the same days paper , best they can do nowadays with their restrictive print deadlines and non local production is to announce There will be Full story & pictures in tomorrows Echo....Phhttt ! Anyway, Thanks, to Ged for uploading the shots from todays opening for us, they provided a good preview of what can be expected when we pay our visits to the new section.
Thanks again for your kind efforts Ged

Apparently it's very very rare she opens anything these days (no jokes please) and just as rare to get them both there. The Royal seal of approval to the Museum of Liverpool.

I didnt catch the Granada News Kev, but I caught the Northwest Tonight one. I wasnt too impressed, they didnt show a single exhibit , the only shot of the museum was in a Hall with Phil Redmund [with his hair cut ]......As I say- not impressed with their coverage but..Not too surprised though !

There are two particularly good stories accompanying the rare exhibits of 2 Boer war VC medals.
One chap had to go and get assistance as his battalion came under fire, he reached the garrison for help some distance away before returning himself to play a major part in the victory that ensued. Another brave soul took command after his general was killed and despite 4 months and thousands of shells raining down on them they saw it out, again to victory. It's told better and in more detail than that in the Museum.
Word of warning. Give yourself a full day to see this whole place as there is so much to read, listen to, look at and see on screen and you wouldn't do it justice just glossing over it as you wouldn't know where to start.
You.ve put together a cracking package of the Opening ceremony and the exhibits for us to view here tonight Ged. thank You very Much, and yes There is probably going to be too much to take in on one visit.
Its a pity the buses dont stop down there anymore it would be great to hop off and dive straight in there,
...still, cant have everything Eh !

Thanks Cp and everyone who has left their thanks. It's a pleasure being down there and hearing gasps and wows and seeing smiling faces old and new. In the 70s there was a reason for being down the Pier Head as it was a major bus terminus and had a few shops but now the crowds this year have been bigger than i've ever seen due to this place and others and organisations wanting to put events on at such a setting that they otherwise didn't do in the past.
Great photies Ged, HM looks nice !
brilliant Ged! i'm soo envy...I dream to see the Queen. i'm silly eyaaa

She went to the small crowd outside Lenka, it was very intimate really, you'd have got a good gander
