ONE of the cruise terminals at Southampton Docks was evacuated after the fire alarm went off.

Passengers were told to leave the QE11 terminal near Dock Gate 4 yesterday - but Associated British Ports (ABP) said it turned out to be a false alarm.

In a separate incident two ambulances were called to Ocean Terminal by the crew of Queen Mary 2 after two passengers were taken ill.

No further details have been released by either ABP or South Central Ambulance Service.
