Rescuers hope royal visit brings closure

Rescuers who pulled the dead and injured of the Mountbatten party from the wreckage of the 1979 IRA bombing have said they hope the visit by the Prince of Wales will bring him closure.

Peter McHugh, one of the key figures in getting the bodies and survivors from the water off Mullaghmore, Co Sligo on August 27 1979, said Charles showed signs of relief.
