**ALL ROUND PICTURES FROM SOLARPIX.COM**.**WORLDWIDE SYNDICATION RIGHTS**.The QE2 has become the latest victim of Dubai's slowdown. Bought for £50 million by the developers Nakheel, Britain's favourite cruise liner was set to be converted into the emirate's second so-called "seven-star hotel" - the funnel sliced off in favour of a glass penthouse, the interior reworked into spas, restaurants and a three-storey ballroom.
