☘️ Bloody Sunday memorial march through Derry marks 47th anniversary | Al Jazeera English
People in the Northern Irish city of Londonderry have been marching to remember Bloody Sunday, the day British troops killed 14 unarmed civilians.
The event in 1972 took place during the height of the Troubles - a conflict pitting mostly Catholic Irish nationalists or republicans, against pro-British, mostly protestant unionists.
The march also comes a week after suspected dissident republicans detonated a bomb in Derry.
Police fear fringe paramilitary groups will exploit the threat of a hard border in Ireland due to the ongoing Brexit negotiations.

Bloody Sunday 1972: The day's events explained
Bloody Sunday has become synonymous with the darkest period of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. But how did a protest march on January 30th 1972 lead to a massacre?
Thirteen people were killed and a further 15 wounded after members of the Army's Parachute Regiment opened fire on civil rights demonstrators in the Bogside - a predominantly Catholic part of Londonderry (Derry).
The image of a Catholic priest waving a blood-stained handkerchief as he helped a victim to safety was broadcast around the world.
The Saville Inquiry, set up by Tony Blair in 1998, found that none of the casualties were posing a threat or doing anything that would justify their shooting.
Victims' families have waited 47 years to see if there would be prosecutions. One former British paratrooper is to be charged with the murder of James Wray and William McKinney, and for the attempted murders of Joseph Friel, Michael Quinn, Joe Mahon and Patrick O’Donnell.

Derry, Northern Ireland - Travel Around The World | Top best places to visit in Derry
Top best places to visit in Derry, Northern Ireland
Derry or, more officially, Londonderry is the second largest city of Northern Ireland.
The city is also nicknamed the Maiden City by virtue of the fact that its walls were never breached despite being besieged on three separate occasions.
Derry is the only remaining walled city in Ireland that is completely intact and it is one of the finest examples of a walled city in Europe.
There are many historical buildings that can be visited when walking down the City Walls.
St Columb’s Cathedral is the mother church of the Ireland Diocese of Derry.
Situated along the City Walls, First Derry Presbyterian Church has recently been re-opened and is now used as a place of worship.
Another admirable church of great importance is the neo-Gothic St Augustine’s Church.
Located within the historic walls Tower Museum, the main museum of the city, tells the story of the city from prehistory to the present.
Right in the center of Derry is a monument dedicated to the citizens who lost their lives during World War I, the Diamond War Memorial.
In the Bogside neighborhood is a historical landmark, a free-standing gable wall, that commemorates Free Derry.
In the same area of the Free Derry Museum is the Bloody Sunday Memorial.
But the Bogside is best known for its large political murals found on the walls of Free Derry Corner.
A more contemporary sculpture in the city, known as Hands Across the Divide, serves as a symbol of the two communities coming together.
Outside of the city walls are many important landmarks worth visiting, such as:
St Eugene’s Cathedral, where there is the Roman Catholic minster.
St Columba’s Church Long Tower, the Roman Catholic Church with the beautiful altar.
And the Guildhall, a large hall where many social and political events have been held.
The Guildhall is located between City Walls and the River Foyle.

Bloody Sunday Trial: Families want soldiers to be prosecuted
It's been almost 50 years since the killings in Northern Ireland known as Bloody Sunday. Now, prosecutors will decide whether the 18 British soldiers involved, should be tried for murder. They could be accused of shooting dead 13 civil rights protesters in Londonderry in 1972. As Sarah Morice reports, there's a lot riding on the prosecutors' decision.

UK - Apprentice Boys Parade goes ahead
T/I: 10:25:52
Protestants marching in the religiously divided city of Londonderry (Derry) in Northern Ireland on Saturday (10/9) raised the Union Jack on a section of the city wall where their Apprentice Boys procession had been banned. The marchers were taking part in an annual celebration of a
17th-century victory over a Catholic king who laid siege to Londonderry after apprentices slammed the city gates, preventing his troops from entering. Despite the ban on marching along the section of the wall
overlooking a Catholic area, the British flag was raised on the ancient city wall with the permission of police, who were out in force and backed up by British soldiers as thousands of members of the Apprentice Boys organisation and their supporters converged on the walled city. The Apprentice Boys, the city's main Protestant fraternal order, did not attempt to breach the barricades as they marched into the city for a wreath-laying at a war memorial, followed by a service at St. Columbus, the Anglican cathedral.

Free Derry: The IRA Drug War
Subscribe to VICE News here:
In February 2014, letter bombs were sent to nine British Military recruitment offices over the course of three days. Londonderry postmarks, a coded message sent to a Northern Irish newspaper, and security forces at Downing Street all pointed to the New IRA as the main suspects.
Last Summer, VICE News visited Derry and heard from Gary Donnelly - the most prominent dissident republican in Londonderry, accused of leading operations for the Real IRA - that these attacks on Britain were to be expected as part of strategic attacks on high profile targets, as it's England that's occupying Ireland.
In 'Free Derry: The IRA Drug War', VICE News investigate how, sixteen years after the Good Friday peace agreement and on the eve of the first major loyalist parade through the city in four years, dissident republican activity in Derry is increasing thanks to the merger of the Real IRA with anti-drugs vigilantes.
VICE News reporter Alex Miller speaks to members of the Republican Action Against Drugs (RAAD), who formed the coalition with the Real IRA, and meets supporters as young as thirteen who are being armed with petrol bombs to combat criminal gangs and intervening police.
For the first time, Paul Stewart, a close friend of slain Dublin Real IRA leader Alan Ryan, speaks on camera about witnessing the murder, as well as sharing insights on Ryan's war against drug dealers.
Miller also interviews the mother of Andrew Smith, a man who she says was murdered by the Real IRA despite no affiliation with drugs related crime, before hearing from a Derry ex-drug dealer who now claims that, if the New IRA didn't fight drugs, this town would be filled with ecstasy and rat poison and kids would be dying.
VICE encounter a city where kneecappings and shootings are rife, walls are branded with anti-UK slogans, and where a policeman can scarcely walk down the street - according to Gary Donnelly - without being killed.
In Free Derry: The IRA Drug War, VICE unmask the farcical veneer of the UK's 'City of Culture' 2013.
