    One year ago today I was on the QE2 sailing from New York for Southampton.We stopped directly over the TITANIC, on the 96th Anniversary of the sinking.
    We had a Service out on the after Deck. The Gurkha security men formed a guard of Honour and then two wreaths were cast into the sea over the wreck followed by two minutes silence, then they blew the Last Post on a bugle.
    A very strange sensation to be on top of the TITANIC on that Anniversary.
    The nearest Ice Berg was 25 miles away. It was raining and blowing acold wind and rough sea.
