Remembrance Sunday commemorations take place across NI

Chris Heaton-Harris, Jayne Brady and Michael Martin were among those at the service in Enniskillen

Remembrance Sunday commemorations have taken place in towns and cities across Northern Ireland.

The taoiseach (Irish prime minister) and Northern Ireland secretary laid wreaths at a service in Enniskillen.

It was the first Remembrance Sunday service held since the unveiling of a new memorial marking the site of the Enniskillen bomb attack 35 years ago.

The IRA attack, which killed 12 people, happened on Remembrance Sunday on 8 November 1987.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin laid a green laurel wreath at the cenotaph in Enniskillen in County Fermanagh during the ceremony, continuing the annual tradition begun by former Taoiseach Enda Kenny in 2012.

Sir Jeffery Donaldson was among UK political leaders at the Cenotaph in London.

A wreath was also laid by Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton Harris, who said he found the service "emotional".

Relatives of the victims of the Enniskillen bomb gathered at the new memorial on the 35th anniversary of the attack on Tuesday

The new memorial in Enniskillen was unveiled to mark the 35th anniversary of the bomb attack on Tuesday.

It contains the inscribed names of the victims and is now installed on the wall of the Clinton Centre, which was built on the site of the bomb.

Mr Martin described the attack as a "terrible atrocity which resulted in a shocking and needless loss of life".

"It brings home to me every time I'm here the absolute futility and immorality of acts like that," he said.
