The families of the former Loreto school students gathered yesterday for a special ceremony in their memory on the first anniversary of the tragedy.

They remembered their loved ones as the memorial garden, designed by award-winning Kildare landscape architect Elma Fenton, was unveiled.

Five standing stones preserve the memory of their full lives in the garden in church grounds. There are also five oak seats, where people can relect, and maybe find peace and hope.

The pretty garden lies beside the Church of the Assumption, near the graves of three of the victims of the crash. Beauparc parish priest Fr Peter Farrelly said: "The inscription brings back the meaning of life and how we should respect young lives as well as old ones. It reminds us that it is not how long we live that matters - it's how we live that matters."

The idea for the Navan Memorial Garden of tranquillity and peace came the day after the bus tragedy last year when caller to the Marian Finucane radio programme asked for a memorial garden to be built.

A Mass in honour of the girls will be celebrated this evening at 7.30pm in The Church of the Assumption in Beauparc.
