The ashes of the last Titanic survivor are to be scattered at the spot where the liner set sail almost a century ago.

At two months old, Millvina Dean was the youngest passenger on board the doomed ship. She died aged 97 at a nursing home last May.

A harbourmaster’s boat will be used to carry her ashes on their final journey to an area close to berth 44 in the Eastern Docks at Southampton.

A memorial service for Miss Dean, pictured, will be held on the same day – Saturday, October 24 –at St Mary’s Church, Copythorne, in the New Forest.
David Hill, of the British Titanic Society, said he wanted as many people as possible to attend the service. He said: ‘Millvina was a wonderful character and a lovely lady.’

Miss Dean was on Titanic’s ill-fated maiden voyage with her parents and brother. The family were emigrating to Wichita, Kansas, where her father had family and hoped to open a tobacco shop.
