On November 21, 1920, British soldiers shot dead 12 spectators and one player
at a football match in an atrocity that became known as "Bloody Sunday".
The Domhnach na Fola massacre was decisive in turning public sympathy
decisively against the British Government.
The Queen's visit today marks another milestone in public acknowledgements by
the monarch of the past wrongs committed by Britain during its rule of
Ireland.
