Over 1500 lives were lost; children lost their fathers, mothers lost husbands, sons and daughters.

Survivor's story David Bryceson, author of Titanic Books and Folkestone shopkeeper tells the story of Folkestone's Titanic survivor Elizabeth Nye.

Ninety years on, the story of Titanic still captivates millions of people around the world.

Like many seafaring counties, Kent has connections to Titanic. Some of the ships passengers came from East Kent and The Medway Towns. The senior surviving officer of Titanic, Charles Herbert Lightoller later in life took part in the Dunkirk Evacuation by crossing the channel in his little ship 'Sundowner'. Kent's Lord Astor of Hever, a modern day Kent Lord, still shares the same family name as the richest man who was on board.

A special documentary told a story of Kent’s links to the ship. 'Titanic Lives', tells the stories of passengers and crew through words and music.

Written and produced by BBC Radio Kent’s Dominic King, the programme featured specially arranged music, performed by students from Kings School, Canterbury.

Dominic shared his story during the programme:"Titanic for me is a story that goes beyond films such as 'A Night To Remember' with Kenneth Moore or the James Cameron film, 'Titanic' with Leonardo and Kate. My great grandfather Joseph Kickham was a member of the famous ships crew who survived.

"Ninety years seems a long time ago, but when you hear the true stories of those on board and those who today study the first and last moments of the ship, you realise that it was just a turn of a page in history"

Last tune.. King's School Musicians, Canterbury perform Alexander's ragtime stick, music performed by the Titanic Ships band on the night of the tragedy. It is believed that this piece of music may have been one of the last songs played and heard by those in the boats as the ship went down.
