Four members of the Ballymurphy Massacre Committee, on the invite from Cairde Éireann, led this years annual parade in Coat Bridge, Scotland, to light the killing’s of the 11 innocent civilians shot dead by the parachute regiment over a three day period in August 1971.

The families held a photo exhibition on Sunday. The amount of support at both events was phenomenal.

The families would like to thank Cairde na hÉireann for making the weekend a great success. To Franny for all the hospitality and to the community of Coat Bridge, we thank you all.
