Subject: RE: BS: Bloody Sunday Report - AT LAST
A footnote:
Today's Irish Times carries the report of one of the largest demonstrations ever seen in Derry, when yeterday tens of thousands of marchers marked the 39th aniversery of Bloody Sunday by completing the original march route to the city's Guildhall. The march was headed by relatives who carried a large banner bearing the word VINDICATED.
The commemoration is intended to be the last such rally following the Saville report last year which overturned the original investigation by Lord Widgery and exonerated the dead and injured, but some of the vicims' relatives broke away from the main demonstration, and some vowed they would return every year.
