Last week the 99th anniversary of the battle of the Somme dominated, with parade and acts of reflection and remembrance in the city, and notably at The Diamond, which was the main focal point for wreath laying and tributes.
People from all walks of life, including the Orange Order, locally elected representatives, school children, community figureheads and civilians as well as members of RBL Foyle Branch placed tributes and held silences to mark the huge sacrifice made at The Somme.
