WATCH: Spanish military sails into Sligo Bay for first time since Armada wrecked over 400 years ago

1,100 people who lost their lives when three Spanish Armada ships were wrecked off the Irish coast four centuries ago were honoured at a festival in Sligo last weekend.

The poignant ceremony brought the sixth annual Celtic Fringe Festival to a close at Streedagh Beach on Sunday afternoon.

Tributes were paid on land and at sea to the memory of the 1,100 souls who perished at Streedagh in 1588 when 3 Armada ships were wrecked during Winter storms.
