Village ‘should be known for joy’ to Mountbatten

On the eve of Prince of Wales’ emotionally charged visit to Mullaghmore, Co Sligo, where the 1979 IRA bombing began one of the bloodiest days of the Troubles, locals spoke of time for healing.
The atrocity claimed four lives — Mountbatten, Doreen Brabourne, the 83-year-old mother-in-law of his daughter, his grandson Nicholas Knatchbull, 14, and Paul Maxwell, 14, from Enniskillen, who was in the village for the summer and worked on the royal’s boat.
