An artist has completed a remarkable set of paintings to help restore a famous Clyde-built steamship that once carried passengers including the Queen Mother and King George V.

Billy Dobbie, 67, has spent the past two years producing 15 oil paintings of the iconic TS Queen Mary – the historic vessel undergoing a £6million ­restoration project in Glasgow.

The paintings tell TS Queen Mary’s story, from her launch at Denny’s Yard in Dumbarton in 1933 to one of her last sailings on the Clyde in the 70s.

They will be the stars of an exhibition at The Lighthouse in Glasgow in January when they will be sold for thousands of pounds each to raise funds for the ship’s restoration.
