Events have been held today to mark the 40th anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Derry.

Relatives of the victims attended a memorial service at a monument in Derry’s Bogside.

But the majority of the families refused to take part in a subsequent march that retraced the route of the ill-fated demonstration where British paratroopers killed 14 civil rights marchers on January 30 1972.

The Saville inquiry declared all the victims to be innocent, prompting an apology from British Prime Minister David Cameron in 2010.
