A special Mass in their memory was held at St Columb’s Church, Chapel Road followed by a candlelight vigil from the church to the memorial, where a wreath laying ceremony was held.
Charles Moore, Frank McCarron, Michael McGinley, Barney Kelly and Charlie McCafferty were shot dead as they enjoyed a drink just five days before Christmas in December 1972.
