TODAY MARKS THE 30th anniversary of an IRA bombing in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh, which killed 11 people and injured 63.

One of the most infamous of the atrocities carried out throughout the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the Remembrance Day bombing was later claimed as a mistake by the IRA, which stated it had been targeting the British soldiers parading the memorial.

The bombing was condemned from all sides.

10 of those who died were civilians who had been in attendance of the ceremony that day to commemorate Britain’s war dead.

A new memorial was today dedicated to those who lost their lives on 8 November 1987.
