Service held for murdered troops
BBC – A cross-community memorial service is held in Antrim for the two soldiers killed at Massereene barracks three years ago.
Examiner – Driving sleet that poured down on the relatives as they were led by a lone piper from All Saints Parish Church through the town centre to the cenotaph in Market Square gave way to spring sunshine as the dedication began. The crowd that was huddled beneath umbrellas emerged as Antrim Mayor Paul Michael gave an address, followed by prayers and readings from both Catholic and Protestant clergy. A piper played from high above on the walls of Antrim castle before a minute’s silence. After the stone was unveiled and the families laid a wreath at the cenotaph, Sapper Azimkar’s mother and Jaime Quinsey both spoke to the crowd. Applause rang out around the square as they concluded.
