Lusitania Annual Commemoration

Event details

This year marks 111 years since the luxury Cunard liner RMS Lusitania was torpedoed 12 miles south of the Old Head during World War One. Every year we host a ceremony in the Lusitania Memorial Garden to reflect on the devastation that was caused by this horrific act of war. This year our guest speaker is Gerald Dunne, a grandson of Lusitania passenger Constance Stroud.

You are invited to join us at the Lusitania Memorial Garden on Thursday 7 May for our Lusitania Anniversary Ceremony.
​The ceremony will begin at 2pm sharp.
