Hundreds of people have attended a commemoration event to mark the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday.

Thirteen civil rights protesters were shot dead by British soldiers on January 30 1972 in Londonderry.

Another man shot by paratroopers on the day died four months later. While many consider him the 14th victim of Bloody Sunday, his death was formally attributed to an inoperable brain tumour.

As part of the commemorative event, the Irish premier Micheal Martin laid a wreath at the Bloody Sunday memorial.
