The Disappeared

Funeral of Charlie Armstrong to take place today

THE FUNERAL OF one of the disappeared, Charlie Armstrong is to be held in Armagh today.

Armstrong’s body was released to his family on Thursday after he disappeared in 1981. His family believe he was abducted and murdered by the IRA.

The Armstrong family earlier paid tribute to a “caring man”. “Charlie was a caring and loving husband and a devoted father. He instilled in us all a respect for life, a respect for others and the importance of helping those less fortunate. We now need time to pay our respects and give him a rightful Christian burial in order that he may rest in peace.”
