The 10th April 2019 is the 107th anniversary of the Titanic setting sail from Southampton. We all well know that the subsequent events had a significant impact on the area.

Here we see our hardworking ‘Bloomers’ (Colne In Bloom) volunteers loving taking care of the area around the titanic memorial, the Wallace Hartley memorial and the Cenotaph.

Titanic model, Wallace Hartley memorial and plaque. Taken 10-04-2019. Close up of the Titanic (before our Bloomers had finished tidying up!) The Cenotaph (with Wallace Hartley memorial) in the background, on planting day. The Cenotaph overflows with flowers on planting day and is loving cleaned by our 'Bloomers'. The Bloomers organise the flowers ... watched closely by Wallace! After a little bit of persuasion, some of the Bloomers stop for a photo .. ! The whole area is cleaned, including Wallace's memorial statue.

The Titanic & Wallace memorials both directly overlook the Colne Cenotaph. The bands still play with Wallace, year on year, on Remembrance Day.
