Relatives of those killed and injured on Bloody Sunday marched in Northern Ireland to mark 50 years since one of the deadliest days in the conflict known as The Troubles.

Thirteen people were killed and 15 others injured when British soldiers fired on civil rights protesters Jan. 30, 1972, in the city of Derry, also known as Londonderry.

RUSSIA WILL STAGE ‘UNWELCOME’ LIVE-FIRE NAVAL DRILLS OFF COAST OF IRELAND

Hundreds made their way Sunday to the Bloody Sunday Monument for the annual memorial service and wreath-laying ceremony.

Britain’s government apologized in 2010 after an official inquiry found that the soldiers fired without justification on unarmed, fleeing civilians and then lied about it for decades. The report refuted an initial investigation after the slayings that said the soldiers had been defending themselves against Irish Republican Army bombers and gunmen.

One former British soldier was charged in 2019 in the killing of two of the protesters and the injury of four others.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson told Parliament Wednesday that Bloody Sunday was "one of the darkest days in our history" and that the country "must learn from the past."

Irish President Michael D. Higgins is expected to deliver a message to affected families later Sunday.
