Default Cacti identification please

Had this Cactus for about 40 years, given to me by an elderly lady who said
she could not get it to flower. The original large plant flowered a couple
of years ago whilst we were away (Sod's law!!) but now the offshoot is
flowering. Anyone with knowledge of cacti know what this is?

Very nice. It might be a variety of Echinopsis (maximiliana?).

I've now uploaded some photos of the flower from the side to show the hairs
on the stalk as I'm told that will help in the ID.
