The group will hold a wreath-laying ceremony on Sunday.

A commemoration for a veteran Derry republican who died in 1993 is set to be held in the city this weekend.

Sean Keenan was a former chairperson of the Derry Citizens Defence Association between July and October 1969, and was made honorary president of Republican Sinn Féin in the late 1980s.

The latter organisation will commemorate him on Sunday, March 6 at his memorial in the Bogside, where wreaths will be laid at the monument as well as the Bloody Sunday memorial.

Martin Kelly, of Omagh, will speak at the event.
