ONE of the most successful exhibitions in the 25-year life of Redcar's Kirkleatham Museum will come to an end this weekend.

Titanic: Honour and Glory, will complete its six-month stay on Sunday.

Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council's museums service has been delighted at the response to the touring exhibition, which has attracted more than 32,000 visitors since opening on July 1.

The council's cabinet member for culture, leisure and tourism, Councillor Dave Fitzpatrick, said: "It has been a fantastic success, and I'm delighted we can provide a fitting finale for its final weekend."

The true love story of Henry Samuel Morley and Kate Louise Philips, which inspired the blockbuster movie, will be told during an illustrated talk, called Love of the Sea, on Saturday and Sunday, from 10.30am to 5.30pm.

Visitors will also have the chance to become Kate Winslet for the day, with a photo opportunity wearing the famous heart-of-the-ocean necklace, worn by the actress in the film.

There will also be a raffle, offering a replica of the necklace, with the winner drawn before the close of the exhibition on Sunday. Tickets cost £1.
