Service goes ahead despite alert

The service went ahead despite a bomb alert

Hundreds of people, including relatives and survivors, have gathered in Enniskillen on the 20th anniversary of the town's Remembrance Day bomb.

A two-minute silence was observed and wreaths laid at the cenotaph where 11 people were killed and 63 injured by the no-warning IRA explosion in 1987.

Earlier the town's centre was cordoned off due to a hoax bomb alert.

However, the remembrance service and parade were not disrupted and started on time.

Ulster Unionist councillor Alex Baird said the alert had brought back "difficult memories of twenty years ago".

"I'm amazed that anyone could be so uncaring or unthoughtful at this poignant time on the 20th anniversary of the Enniskillen bomb.
