Massive crowds have turned out in Killybegs to welcome the biggest cruise liner to visit the port.
The Cunard Line’s Queen Elizabeth docked in the harbour this morning with over 2,000 passengers and more than 1,000 crew.
Some passengers spend their time in Killybegs while others took bus trips to Donegal town, Sliabh Liag, Glencolmcille and Leo’s Tavern in Crolly.
The liner is the second liner to visit the port this week. Queen Elizabeth's sister ship the Queen Victoria visited the port earlier this year.
The ship is due to depart at 4.30pm and will receive a send-off from the St Catherine’s Band.
