  1. Them all “foreigners” according to a Dub hood.

    If they were foreigners they wouldn’t have been shot.

  2. Daly gained prominence after using a blood-stained handkerchief as a white flag while trying to escort Jackie Duddy (17), to safety. Duddy died soon after, and Daly administered the last rites, later calling his death unjustified. 

    He believed Bloody Sunday fueled the IRA’s violence and opposed using force for political ends.

    This picture became one of the most recognisable of the troubles.

  3. Picked up a dude in my taxi. Simon Winchester. Nice fella, turns out he was the last surviving journalist who witnessed Bloody Sunday. He ended up going back and forth giving evidence at the tribunal. He told me he just said it as he saw it.

    Anyway he had written a book and was in Dublin to meet the actors who were turning his book into a movie. I asked “anyone I might know” he said “oh yes, Mel Gibson and Sean Penn, I’m so excited”
    I was well impressed 😁

  4. 53 years and still waiting to hold any of the murderers to account and justice. RIP ✝️
