Large crowds expected at Belfast Titanic festival

Special commemorative services, vigil marches and the opening of a £77m (€100m) visitors' centre are among the highlights of the three-week Titanic festival at the city where the vessel was built.

An inter-faith remembrance service will be held at Belfast City Hall on April 15 and is expected to draw hundreds, if not thousands, of people. A memorial garden will be unveiled at the site where bronze plaques bear the names of those who lost their lives.
