The commemoration of the 104th anniversary of the sinking of the Lusitania will take place in Cobh on Sunday 5th May, 2019. Organised by Cobh Tourism the ceremonies are fitting memorials to all those who lost their lives on that fateful war time voyage.
The ceremony commences at the Lusitania graves in the Old Church Cemetery just outside Cobh at 2.30pm. Following prayers, musical honours by the Comodore Choir and the laying of wreaths, the proceedings move to Cobh Town Centre. A Parade led by a Colour Party from the O.N.E. and representatives of the Royal Naval Association and other maritime and historical groups will leave from the Old Town Hall on Lynch’s Quay at 3.15pm approximately to the Lusitania Peace Memorial in Casement Square.
Further ceremonies will take place here including a wreath laying ceremony.
Members of the public are encouraged to attend.
