The suggestion, which sent the competition viral last month, received 124,109 votes, four times more than RRS Poppy-Mai – named after a 16-month-old girl with incurable cancer – which came in second place.

Nah, they announced the final voting only yesterday. A month ago was the news it was being voted on and had the lead. The voting finished on Sunday? I think? Didn't bother reading the article, read one on it yesterday.
