Families who lost loved ones in a loyalist gun attack on a bar in Greysteel attended a 30th-anniversary Mass to remember the victims. In 1993, seven people were shot dead when Ulster Defence Association (UDA) gunmen attacked the bar in the County Londonderry village.

Another man died later from his injuries, while many more people were wounded. The attack came exactly a week after the IRA bombed Frizzell's fish shop on the Shankill Road in Belfast, and the loyalist paramilitaries behind the Greysteel murders said they were carried out in retaliation for the Shankill attack.

The victims are remembered with great dignity, and the community has come together to face the future.
