Remembering
35 years ago on 8 November, an IRA bomb blew the heart out of Enniskillen at a poppy day event.
Eleven people were killed, including three married couples. The dead were Wesley and Bertha Armstrong (aged 62 and 55), Kit and Jessie Johnston (aged 71 and 62), William and Agnes Mullan (aged 74 and 73), John Megaw (67), Alberta Quinton (72), Marie Wilson (20), Samuel Gault (49) and Edward Armstrong (52). Edward Armstrong was a serving RUC officer and Gault had recently left the force.
One of the victims was a nurse Marie Wilson.
Her Dad, Gordon, said "I bear no ill will. I bear no grudge. Dirty sort of talk is not going to bring her back to life. She was a great wee lassie. She loved her profession. She was a pet. She’s dead. She’s in heaven & we shall meet again. I will pray for these men tonight & every night”
We will remember them
