On this day, 13 lives were lost in the Troubles.
We remember these victims today.
These were our mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, friends and neighbours. We remember them all - Catholics and Protestants and those of no faith at all.

ATL Remembrance Day Proposal
There is currently no shared day of remembrance for all those killed during the Troubles. ATL believes there should be one day to remember every victim equally.
The ATL Victims Archive
ATL has built the most comprehensive archive of those killed during the Troubles, combining the CAIN Sutton Index with the McKeown database to create a unified, detailed record of every known victim.
