Shipyard director George Parker rose to the occasion when the new liner Queen Elizabeth
Shipyard director George Parker rose to the occasion when the new liner Queen Elizabeth II seemed reluctant to be launched. He gave her a shove and a second later the Cunarder slid down the stocks from John Browns ship yard into the River Clyde. It was a symbolic gesture, and brought a hilarious ending to the few seconds during which the new QE2 seemed reluctant to move. Nothing happened after the Queen had pressed the button to release the launching gear. 20th September 1967
