Today is the 24th anniversary of the Air India disaster off the South West coast on the
23rd of June 1985. I attended the memorial service in Ahakista in West Cork this morning. A deeply moving and forgiving occasion; all these years later it is still attended by the families of those lost on that most awful of days. The families I spoke to this morning are all still extremely grateful for the work of the Navy that day in recovering their loved ones and so allowing them to grieve and move on. Well done to all concerned.
