Diamond Jubilee Terminal Officially Opens

It was open for business and accepting ships two months ago but the Diamond Jubilee Cruise Ship Terminal gets it's official grand opening a few ways this week.  
A business reception is coming up tomorrow night and on Saturday the Port will host a pre-parade event for the whole family.

Carl Blanchard of FCC Construction tells CHSJ News says one of the design features is the pre-cast arches on the exterior.

He says inside it's a very wide open space with a lot of windows so it's bright including a rooftop patio the public can enjoy.

There is space indoors that can be rented for wedding and meetings and can include access to the rooftop patio.

The terminal's name was announced back in May during the visit by Prince Charles and his wife Camilla.

A bust of Queen Elizabeth sits inside the terminal next to a Union jack.
