There was a memorial service at St. Peter's (Church of England) parish church in Burnley for the crew members who died. A massed choir was formed from those of several local churches -- including St Matthew's choir, of which I was a member. It was a moving service -- we all carried candles in the processional. An American memorial chapel was installed in St. Peter's church -- it is still there.
