Today the summer sun shone on Derry
Lough Foyle was sparkling white and brightest blue
A crowd stood in the square and watched telly
An enormous screen for them all to view
The events of 1972
At last acknowledged, apologised for
By the UK Government, which had too
Long denied its crime; its Army at war
With the unarmed public that day. Folklore
Preserved, in murals and song, memories
And the families of the slain continued
Their fight for justice, year on year. We saw
Today, for some at least, a victory
Bloody Sunday, we will not forget you
