Service goes ahead despite alert | |
(about 2 hours later) | |
Hundreds of people, including relatives and survivors, have gathered in Enniskillen on the 20th anniversary of the town's Remembrance Day bomb. | |
A two-minute silence was observed and wreaths laid at the cenotaph where 11 people were killed and 63 injured by the no-warning IRA explosion in 1987. | |
Earlier the town's centre was cordoned off due to a bomb alert. | |
However, the remembrance service and parade were not disrupted and started on time. | |
Ulster Unionist councillor Alex Baird said the alert had brought back "difficult memories of twenty years ago". | |
"I'm amazed that anyone could be so uncaring or unthoughtful at this poignant time on the 20th anniversary of the Enniskillen bomb. | "I'm amazed that anyone could be so uncaring or unthoughtful at this poignant time on the 20th anniversary of the Enniskillen bomb. |
