Today 40 years ago my daddy was murdered by pro-British supremacists in the North of Ireland. He was just 34, an innocent civilian, a devoted husband and a doting father to 3 young sons. This photo was taken just weeks before his death at my christening xxx

Today, 42 years ago(29/02/1980), my father was murdered by Loyalists in Belfast using a British army gun. He was just 34, an innocent civilian, a devoted husband and a doting father to 3 young sons. This photo was taken just weeks before his death at my christening xxx
