Today it's exactly 100 years since the Titanic departed Southampton on Wednesday 10th April 1912. The world's largest liner hit an iceberg on the 14th April and sank from view on the 15th April. Over 1,500 people lost their lives in the terrible disaster. Tracy Martin is here to talk us through some modern memorial ware and some interesting pieces - including a life jacket that was made for James Cameron's film Titanic, and signed by the oldest surviving passenger at the time. Other items include part of the mooring ropes used to hold Titanic whilst she was being built in Belfast and a very special teddy bear.
