Keep an eye on the Liverpool waterfront program running from late May to early June.
The events begin with the 70th and I am told , Final  anniversary commemoration of the Battle of the Atlantic. This on May 24th and will close with the Mersey river festival June 7th--9th . 
25 warships will be ranged between the cruise terminal and the Albert and Canning dock.
The highlight for me will be the return of the tall ships and the shanty weekend where I hope the "Afters" in the Baltic fleet will be another memorable night.
