LIVE: Thousands expected at annual Bloody Sunday march in Derry

Thousands of people are expected to march on Bloody Sunday commemoration day in Derry, Northern Ireland on Sunday, January 31. The annual march is organised in remembrance of the events of January 30, 1972, when British soldiers shot 26 unarmed civilians from the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association and the Northern Resistance Movement, during a protest march against internment. Fourteen people died; with thirteen killed outright, and another succumbing to his injuries four-and-a-half months later.
