Prince of Wales to attend North Sea helicopter crash memorial
THE Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall will attend a memorial service for the victims of last week's North Sea helicopter crash, it was confirmed today.
Buckingham Palace said Charles and Camilla will join the hundreds of mourners at Wednesday's service in Aberdeen's Kirk of St Nicholas.
The service has been organised to remember the 16 men who lost their lives when their Super Puma crashed in the sea on Wednesday last week.
The 14 passengers and two crew were returning from BP's Miller platform when the helicopter crashed around 15 miles from Peterhead.
The bodies of the victims have all been recovered and identified.
Half the victims came from the north east of Scotland, seven from the rest of the UK, and one from Latvia.
The wreckage of the helicopter was brought ashore at the weekend and is currently being examined by accident investigators.
