Found myself listening to this song all day. Such a beautiful song, which brings back the painful memories of that day.

May they all rest in peace. As Nally said above it is a day I will never forget.  I was outside my house (about a mile away) when it went off and it still makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up to this day. I won't forget my neighbour calling in a blind panic, his wife and son were in town that afternoon. My mum (who is a nurse) finally tracked them down in the county hospital. The man's son had lost his leg and his wife is still physically affected to this day. Everybody in our town was touched by death and destruction that day, for what? I still don't know.

The candlelight vigil where Juliet sang that song will stay with me forever. One of the most emotional events I have ever experienced.

Terrible experience for so many on that awful day Omagh in your home town.Thoughts and prayers with the bereaved and injured.

Best way to remember the victims would be to jail the perpetrators for the rest of their natural and beyond.
