Further to my tunnel related songs on the Dreamboats thread earlier, here's a video of HRH opening the Wallasey Tunnel 50 year ago today.

Find it funny that we still call it 'the new tunnel' after 50 years - that said, we went to Ronda in Spain and they have a 'new bridge' that was built in 1793!!! :lol: :lol:
