Royal presence at commemoration
THE PRINCESS Royal will be joined by dignitaries and several hundred invited guests tomorrow morning (Friday May 4) at the First World War centennial commemoration at the Port Ellen war memorial.
The ceremony will honour the close-on 700 US servicemen, along with British crew members, who lost their lives when the troopships Tuscania and Otranto sank off Islay’s shores in the closing months of the 1914-18 war.
