A wreath has been laid in memory of nine people who were killed in a series of bombs which exploded across Belfast almost 50 years ago.

The atrocity, which has become known as Bloody Friday, saw over 20 bombs explode at locations across the city centre in less than two hours killing nine and leaving around 130 people injured on July 21, 1972.
