Easter commemoration takes place in Derry
First event of its kind since 2019
The first Easter commemoration in three years took place in Derry this afternoon.
Up to 2,000 people marched from the bottom of Westland Street in the Bogside to the republican plot in the City Cemetery where they were addressed by Sinn Fein Donegal TD Pearse Doherty.
Earlier, commemorations were held at republican monuments in the Creggan, Lecky Road, Shantallow and Top of the Hill (Waterside) areas of the city.
Commemorations had not taken place since 2019 due to Covid-19 restrictions.
