Survivors and relatives of those who died in the Zeebrugge ferry
disaster 25 years ago are attending a special service in Dover
today.

The service is taking place at St Mary's Church and more
than 200 people are expected to attend.

They are leaving memories of their loved ones to be included in
a Book of Remembrance which is being compiled, and stars are being
used to provide a lasting legacy of memories to those
who died when the Herald of Free Enterprise capsized, on March 6,
1987.

Family and friends of victims as well as anyone affected by the
disaster are recording their feelings on the stars as part of a
service to mark the anniversary of the disaster.

The address is being given by the Bishop of Dover, the
Rt Rev Trevor Willmott. Among those attending are the Admiral the
Lord Boyce, the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, as well as civic
dignatories including the Mayor of Dover, Cllr Ronnie Philpott.

A total of 193 people died. Their names are already included on
a Roll of Honour below a stained glass window commemorating the
event at the church.

Muffled peals of bells rang before the service and will be
rung again this evening. Among the bellringers is a P&O Ferries
employee, four people who took part in the muffled ringing at
the time of the tragedy, and retired school teacher whose pupils
lost close family members.

Tomorrow morning, another muffled quarter peal will be rung as a
reminder of the scenes in the town on the following
morning.

A new memorial will be created on Dover seafront after the
service when roses are planted in an area in front of the Gateway
Flats, and relatives will also have the opportunity to cast wreaths
and flowers into the sea from the Prince of Wales Pier.
