Among those who attended this years event in solidarity with the Bloody Sunday families have been the family and relatives of those murdered on August 9th & 10th 1971 in West Belfast at the hands of soldiers from the British Army's Parachute Regiment. 

This murderous act happened just five months prior to those killed and injured on Bloody Sunday. The event itself became known as the Ballymurphy Massacre.
