Mail boat victims remembered

Descendants of people killed on the RMS Leinster, which operated between Holyhead and Ireland, have marked the 90th anniversary of its sinking.

More than 500 crew and passengers died on the mail boat when it was torpedoed by a German U-boat on October 10, 1918.

Philip Lecane, the commemoration committee's chair, said: "It was an incredibly moving day."
