A moment of silence in Market Street in Omagh has marked the time that a dissident republican car bomb devastated the Co Tyrone town 25 years ago.

Some bereaved family members laid single white roses and then said prayers at the glass obelisk which marks the spot where the Real IRA attack occurred on August 15 1998.
