The Northern Ireland War Memorial marked the anniversary of the air raids on Northern Ireland with a wreath laying ceremony at the mass blitz grave in Belfast City Cemetery. This commemoration coincided with the anniversary of the Easter Tuesday raid, which took place on 15/16 April 1941, resulting in the loss of over 740 lives in Belfast. Lives were also lost in Bangor, Newtownards and Derry/Londonderry.

William John Wallace Senior was 25 at the time of his death. Photo:Peter O’Hara Photography
