Lord Empey, of Northern Ireland’s Ulster Unionist Party, has called for the last surviving warship of the First World War to play a central role in Northern Ireland’s commemorations of the conflict.
The warship, HMS Caroline, has recently received funding of £1 million from the National Heritage Memorial Fund for its restoration.
