Memorial service for victims of IRA terrorism

While Bobby Sands' funeral is taking place in west Belfast more than two thousand loyalists gather at Belfast City Hall to remember the victims of IRA terrorism. The service, convened and conducted by Rev Ian Paisley, is an opportunity for the relatives of IRA victims to express their resentment at what they see as the glorification of terrorists. Paisley tells the crowd that Sands chose to take his life but IRA victims had no choice. Relatives laid wreaths at the cenotaph and dispersed quietly having made their point.
