Several thousand people today took part in the annual Bloody Sunday commemoration march in Derry.
The large crowd marked the 34th anniversary of the killing of 13 innocent civilians by members of the Parachute Regiment on January 30 th, 1972.
It was expected to be the final march before the Bloody Sunday Inquiry team, headed by Lord Saville of Newdigate, reports the findings of its mammoth Stg£150 million hearing - the longest inquiry in British legal history.
Sinn Fein Assembly member Raymond McCartney warned that the people of Derry would settle for nothing but the truth of what happened that distant day. Addressing the crowds, he said that when Lord Saville and his two colleagues report "they must keep in their minds one of the great lessons of Bloody Sunday that if the truth of that day is in anyway suppressed then the quest for the truth remains as fresh as it was all those years ago."
Mr McCartney gave evidence to the Saville tribunal detailing how the events of Bloody Sunday prompted him to join the IRA - he went on to murder an English businessman in the city - and to take part in the Maze Prison hunger strike.
He said the the inquiry team: "It is up to them to place blame on those who are to blame and to place guilt on those who are guilty.
"The men shot dead that day, the men and women wounded that day - were deliberate acts - there is no escape from declaring that it was murder and attempted murder, no ifs, no buts."
The Foyle MLA said he wanted to commend the families of those killed and the wounded for their "dignity, integrity and endurance on what has been a long journey in their campaign for justice and truth."
