The naming of a ship, followed by liquid spillage over the bow, is a long-held tradition, an honour previously bestowed on icons such as Sixties 'it' girls (Twiggy), Italian sex symbols (Sophia Loren); the queen of cakes (Mary Berry), and the Duchess of Cambridge (who can forget the heavily pregnant Kate in a Dalmatian print dress smashing a Swarovski-studded Nebuchadnezzar against the cruise ship Royal Princess?).
The Vikings did it with blood. Today it's usually bubbly; wine if it's a Cunard ship. Today the Queen christened P&O Cruises' gleaming white, red and blue Britannia in Southampton with a Nebuchadnezzar of sparkling wine from the Wiston Estate Winery in Sussex.
The Queen has previously christened the Royal Yacht Britannia and four other cruise ships: the QE2, the Oriana (another P&O ship) and Cunard's Queen Mary 2 and Queen Elizabeth.
But her presence here today was significant for the cruise line which has spent nearly half a billion pounds building a contemporary ship, a "modern classic" for the British cruising market.
