THE programme of events to mark the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday have been released.

Highlights include the screening of the film White Handkerchief and a special event in Guildhall Square.

Beyond the Silence will take place on Sunday, January 30, at 4.00pm, the time the killings began.

The event will feature words, music and light paying tribute to the victims of Bloody Sunday.

Adrian Dunbar, Bronagh Gallagher and Phil Coulter are part of a stellar line-up who will take part in events to mark the 50th anniversary

A Families Walk of Remembrance will leave Creggan earlier that day at 9.15am, retracing the route of the January 30 1972 march, ending with a memorial service at the Bloody Sunday monument on Rossville Street.

Musical highlights include the Undertones and Damien Dempsey and special guests taking to the stage for separate concerts at the Millennium Forum.

The events, themed One World One Struggle, are being organised by the Bloody Sunday Trust who today also launched the new Bloody Sunday 50 website where details of the events planned can be found.

Speaking at the launch, Tony Doherty, chairperson of the Bloody Sunday Trust, said hundreds are expected to travel from around the world to attend the various events.

He added that the campaign for justice by families of the dead and injured meant that Derry could take its place proudly among the cities of the world which have struggled for justice.

Jean Hegarty, whose brother Kevin McElhinney (17) was one of the victims, said families had spent many years without dealing with their loss, but added: “We will look back with sadness but we can look forward with hope.”
