Bishop Edward Daly passed away peacefully at Altnagelvin Hospital back in August. He was aged 82 years old.

In 1962 he was appointed as a curate at St Eugene’s Cathedral in Derry, remaining there for eleven years and was heavily involved in social gatherings, much if it centred around St Columb’s Hall.

He was present during the Bloody Sunday shootings and was one of a number of local priests who accused the Parachute Regiment of ‘wilful murder’.

He retired as Bishop of the Derry Diocese in 1994.
