Several events were held in Derry yesterday to mark the 40th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, in which 14 civil rights marchers were killed by British paratroopers.

Kate and Linda Nash who lost their teenage brother William, took part in the march.

In 2010, a public inquiry by Lord Saville declared all the victims innocent and prompted a formal apology by British Prime Minister David Cameron.
