Fr Edward Daly - His work should be recognised

The Americans have their historic photograph of six marines raising the Stars and Stripes during the Battle of Iwo Jima in the Second World War; the Russians still revere the picture of their troops flying the flag over the Reichstag in the Battle of Berlin on May 2, 1945.

Instead, we have the searing image of a curate waving a handkerchief as he came to the aid of a marcher shot by British paratroopers in Derry on January 30, 1972.

The image of Father Edward Daly, who died yesterday at the age of 82, carrying the blood-stained handkerchief as he led the men carrying Jackie Duddy along Chamberlain St became the iconic photograph of Bloody Sunday. Duddy was the first of 14 unarmed marchers to die that day.
