Drama about those who died when soldiers opened fire on protesters will premiere on 50th anniversary
For almost 50 years, the bloodstained white handkerchief held aloft by Father Edward Daly as he tried to save the life of a fatally wounded teenager on Bloody Sunday has been kept safe, first by the boy’s family and more recently at a local museum.
On Wednesday, the handkerchief was back in the hands of Kay Duddy, whose brother Jackie was one of 13 unarmed people shot dead by British troops in a civil rights protest in the Northern Ireland city. A 14th man later died of his injuries.
