Thomas Andrews' body was never recovered. Was there a funeral offered for this brilliant yet modest hero? Was a memorial of some kind erected to his memory? If so, where is it? Can someone post a photo of it?

I live in a housing development called Ardarawood, which was formerly the gardens of Ardara House, home of Thomas Andrews. My children attended Andrews Memorial Primary School. He is certainly not forgotten in his home town.Glad to see he is not forgotten elsewhere.
