It has emerged today that all former British soldiers associated with Bloody Sunday have now been interviewed, 44 years after the incident.

Bloody Sunday, also known as the Bogside Massacre, refers to the 1972 massacre in which British soldiers opened fire onto a crowd of 26 unarmed civilians who were marching against internment, claiming the lives of 14 people.

One of the fatalities was seventeen year old Jackie Duddy, who is seen in the famous picture of Bishop Edward Daly waving a blood-stained handkerchief while rushing the teenager to safety.

Bishop Daly anointed Jackie and gave him his Last Rites.

Derry MLA Eamon McCann said; “The end of the Bloody Sunday saga may not be near, but it is at last in sight”.
