An 84-year-old woman who settled in Southampton as a Cunard stewardess is set to feature in a historic exhibition.

Anne Logan recalled memories of welcoming Elton John and Rod Stewart on board cruises during an appeal to identify faces in old photos.

The exhibition, called Sea of Glamour, was curated by photographer Mary McCartney to celebrate the shipping line's 185th anniversary.

It features images from Cunard's past, including those of Southampton woman Anne, 84.

Anne recognised herself in a photo from 1975, showing staff aboard the Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2).

The former stewardess said the picture, originally featured in British tabloid Reveille, brought back memories from her 30 years working at sea, including serving celebrities who travelled onboard.

She said: "I looked after lots.

"Rod Stewart was with us three times, first with Britt Ekland, then Alana Stewart, and then Rachel Hunter – so with a different woman every time.

"Elton John and his wife Renate Blauel came across from New York to Southampton.

"He was very nice and polite but very, very quiet.

"He spent all of his time with his manager and she spent all of her time in the shops."

Ms Logan, originally from near Port Talbot in South Wales, worked on 19 world cruises before settling in Southampton, where she became a care worker.

Another photo shows Leading Air Crewman Roy Eggleston with his then-girlfriend saying goodbye at Southampton before he boarded the QE2 as part of the 825 Naval Air Squadron in 1982, during the Falklands War.

It features images from Cunard's past and will be launched in Liverpool later this month.

The romantic connection captured on camera did not last and the couple later split up but Mr Eggleston, now 69 and living in Sutton on Sea, Lincolnshire, contacted Cunard to reveal himself and described his former fiancée as "a beautiful part of my life".

The exhibition also features David Lawrence, pictured standing aboard a lifeboat from the QE2 which he kept on the front drive of his semi-detached home in Llanharry, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales.
