This weekend is the centenary of one of the biggest peacetime disasters at sea.

More than 1,500 people died on board the Titanic, after the ship hit an iceberg and sank in the Atlantic Ocean.

One of the enduring images of the doomed ship going down was that of the lights staying on while it disappeared beneath the waves.

ITV Anglia has been finding out about the ship's links with the region - the extraordinary steam driven dynamos on board was made in Bedford's Queen's Park.

Today houses stand on the factory site - as tall as the engines once built there.
