Balmoral celebration ‘should be quiet and dignified’

A man who was born after his mother cancelled her plans to sail on the Titanic at the last minute has criticised the tone of celebrations on board the vessel retracing the ill-fated liner’s voyage.

Derry Healy, 92, from Cork, said he was disappointed by what he saw when the Balmoral called to Cobh on Monday as part of its Titanic Memorial Cruise.
