The Grand Event

Mike Apps sits in with news, travel, sport and reports from the P&O Grand Event.

A shipping line has marked its 175th year by sailing its seven cruise ships into Southampton.

The ships from the P&O fleet sailed into Southampton from before dawn.

It is the first time Oceana, Adonia, Azura, Oriana, Aurora, Arcadia and Ventura are arriving and departing from their home port together.

ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio Solent's reporters are on the water as the flotilla of ships leave the port in single file just before 18:30 led by Adonia.

As each ship sails down the Solent between Weston Shore and Hythe a short fireworks display will be set off.
