Kennedy torch lit

? ETERNAL: A torch is lit from the John F Kennedy memorial before it is brought to Ireland to mark the 50th anniversary of the former US president's visit. The flame will travel to New Ross, Co Wexford, the town from which Mr Kennedy's great-grandfather emigrated from in 1835. On Saturday Taoiseach Enda Kenny, Mr Kennedy's daughter Caroline Kennedy and his sister Jean Kennedy Smith will ignite the new emigrant flame memorial as part of the JFK50 Ireland celebrations
