A candlelit vigil will be held in Inishowen to mark the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday.

The event will take place in Buncrana's Market Square this Sunday at 4pm. All are welcome to attend.

Mayor of Donegal, Cllr Jack Murray said the people of Inishowen deeply felt the events of that tragic day due to the 'deep connections between the peninsula and Derry.

"The connections between Inishowen and Derry run deep," Cllr Murray said. "Many of those killed and wounded on the day had strong Inishowen connections. Many people from Inishowen marched in Derry on the day.

"Sunday's vigil is our way of standing in solidarity with the people of Derry and I would call on the people of Inishowen of attend the vigil on Sunday to show our support."
