Relatives of the so-called Disappeared are planning a march at Stormont today to commemorate the lives of their loved ones on All Souls' Day.

The families are planning to carry a black wreath with nine white lillies to remember the nine IRA murder victims whose bodies have still not been found.

The victims were abducted, murdered and secretly buried during the Troubles after the IRA suspected them of being informers.

Today's commemoration comes less than a week after a fresh dig in Co Monaghan aimed at locating the remains of 17-year-old Columba McVeigh.

The dig was unsuccessful.
