White rose to commemorate Lusitania sinking

The centenary of the sinking of the RMS Lusitania will be marked by a white rose, plaque and the names of the hundreds of souls who perished being placed on the wreck.

Gregg Bemis, the 87-year-old US entrepreneur who owns the liner 11 miles off the Irish coast, created his own heartfelt tribute rather than attend official commemorations.
