The victims of the worst single atrocity in Northern Ireland have been remembered during a poignant memorial service.

Families of the 29 killed in the 1998 dissident republican bombing of Omagh and British and Irish government ministers were among those who gathered in the Co Tyrone town on Sunday ahead of the 25th anniversary.
