The 270 people who lost their lives in the Lockerbie bombing 26 years ago were remembered at a memorial service in the US yesterday.

The 270 people who lost their lives in the Lockerbie bombing exactly 26 years ago will be remembered at a memorial service in the United States today.

THE past is a foreign country.

Caroline Kennedy, daughter of the late US Presient John F Kennedy, visited Wexford this evening to light the "Emigrants' Flame" in tribute to all those who have left the country.

A real life “guardian angel” from the “Gate of Heaven” saved Jacqueline Kennedy from drowning when she holidayed in Co Waterford in 1967.

Technology specialists behind the London 2012 Olympic Torch have arrived in New Ross to work on the newly built Emigrant Flame, which will be lit by members of the Kennedy family and the Taoiseach this summer.

The people behind an event to commemorate the 50th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s visit to Ireland said they are “cautiously optimistic” that president Barack Obama will take part in the celebrations in Wexford this June.

THE United States will pause today in sombre remembrance of the September 11 terrorist strikes that led the country into an open-ended global war against a largely invisible enemy.
