Car procession honours Ballymurphy victims
A procession of cars travelled through Ballymurphy in west Belfast last night to honour the 10 innocent people shot by British forces, who were cleared of wrongdoing by an inquest yesterday.
The cars made their way through the streets beeping their horns and waving white flags bearing the words "entirely innocent".
Ten white doves were also released - one for each of the victims.
Joseph Corr died in the massacre - his grandson Mickey says consideration by the UK Government for an an amnesty for soldiers and paramilitaries is not the way forward.
"An amnesty doesn't really work, especially over here in Northern Ireland.
"It puts a lot of victims in the same situation we were in."
