Song then funeral clips.
Remembering eight volunteers of the Irish Republican Army East Tyrone brigade who died in a ambush by British occupation forces in the village of Loughgall, Armagh.
Declan Arthurs, Séamus Donnelly, Tony Gormley, Eugene Kelly, Paddy Kelly, Jim Lynagh, Pádraig McKearney and Gerard O’Callaghan
The British forces had created a killing zone within their ring of steel. As well as the eight Volunteers, an uninvolved civilian was cut down and died in the hail of gunfire. He was Anthony Hughes (36). He was driving at least 200 yards away from Loughgall Barracks when the British poured volleys of shots into his car, killing him and seriously injuring his brother, Oliver.
