71 brilliant photographs of global human rights icon Little Amal receiving a rapturous Derry welcome

Little Amal, a globally recognised symbol of human rights who has travelled the world bringing hope to the vulnerable and dispossessed, got a rapturous Derry welcome when she arrived in the city as a guest of the North West Migrants Forum on Monday.

Amal – whose name means hope in Arabic – crossed the Peace Bridge before being welcomed in Guildhall Square by a large crowd and the Deputy Mayor of Derry and Strabane Jason Barr.

Here is a selection of pictures from her visit.
