IN PICTURES: Candle-lit vigil for children of Palestine as part of Bloody Sunday anniversary commemorations

Children in Derry led a procession for the displaced and traumatised children of Palestine in Derry on Thursday night.

The candle-light procession moved off from Lisfannon Park and those in attendance walked to the Bloody Sunday monument, which was lit up in Palestinian colours.

The event was organised as part of the Bloody Sunday Trust’s 52nd anniversary programme.
