WAVERLEY passengers are to be joined by a star of Still Game on a celebratory cruise to the Tail of the Bank this week.

Special guest Greg Hemphill - who plays Victor McDade in the BBC sitcom - will be on board the paddle steamer on Friday.

The sailing will mark the 90th anniversary of Waverley’s former fleet-mate, TS Queen Mary.

The Clyde steamer was built at William Denny shipyard in Dumbarton and launched in 1933.

Accommodating more than 2,000 passengers, she is said to be the largest steamship ever built to serve the Clyde.

The vessel is now being restored at Govan Graving Docks in Glasgow.

Passengers on the special cruise will enjoy a trip from Glasgow Science Centre to the Tail of the Bank, leaving at 7.15pm and returning at 10:30pm.

Tickets are on sale for £38 – with the purchase including an exclusive souvenir print of the Queen Mary. Child tickets are also available for £19.
