NOSTALGIA: Derry and Inishowen in pictures - June 1997
In June 1997 another march crisis was looming following an Orange Order pledge to parade through Derry city centre on July 12; President Mary Robinson told a large gathering of Carndonagh residents who turned out to greet her during a visit that the occasion rekindled fond memories of the town where she spent many of her summer holidays; and SDLP leader John Hume departed for Santa Clara, California, to receive an honorary doctorate from the University of Santa Clara. The ‘Journal’s’ photographers were out and about.
