White handkerchief and a Derry play tell Bloody Sunday story

White handkerchief and a Derry play tell Bloody Sunday story





Father Edward Daly waves a blood-soaked white handkerchief as he escorts a mortally-wounded protester, 17-year-old Jackie Duddy, during the Bloody Sunday massacre that rocked the Northern Irish city of Derry on this day in 1972. This clash between demonstrators for Irish independence and the ruling British government saw soldiers kill 13 protesters and wound another 15.⁠
In the aftermath, Daly insisted that the protesters were unarmed and posing no direct threat, contrary to the British government's official stance that the soldiers were blameless and merely defending themselves after being provoked. But Daly refused to back down, characterizing Duddy's murder as "a young fella who was posing no threat to anybody being shot dead unjustifiably." Eventually, Daly's account was proven to be the truth and Bloody Sunday would go down as one of the most brutal civilian massacres in modern history.


For almost 50 years, the bloodstained white handkerchief held aloft by Father Edward Daly as he tried to save the life of a fatally wounded teenager on Bloody Sunday has been kept safe, first by the boy’s family and more recently at a local museum.

On Wednesday, the handkerchief was back in the hands of Kay Duddy, whose brother Jackie was one of 13 unarmed people shot dead by British troops in a civil rights protest in the Northern Ireland city. A 14th man later died of his injuries.


Duddy, 75, was at Derry’s Playhouse to promote a new play that will premiere on 30 January, the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday. The White Handkerchief, telling the stories of those who died, will also be streamed to a global audience.

“The hanky was returned to us with Jackie’s clothes after he died. I carried it many years with me after my daddy passed away,” she said.

“Then one day a young thug tried to snatch my handbag, and all I could think of was the hanky being lost forever. So I passed it over to the Museum of Free Derry for safekeeping.”

The play was “an elegy, a lament for lives lost” incorporating music and lyrics, which help “deliver a sense of melancholy and tragedy”, said Liam Campbell, its author.

At its heart was a love story, he added. “The lens through which the events unfold is William McKinney, who was engaged to be married, he had his whole life in front of him.

“But it’s a celebration of all those whose lives were lost. We meet them early in the play as they gather for the march, and we sense the jovial atmosphere. What’s missing is any sense of dread.”

The production features a local cast. Director Kieran Griffiths formed a music theatre company at the Derry Playhouse to provide conservatoire-level training to 12 local people in their teens and twenties. All will be part of The White Handkerchief’s ensemble, with four taking principal roles.

The play will be staged at the Guildhall, the original destination of the 1973 civil rights march. “They were turned away, to their demise. So it’s very fitting that we’ll be performing in that very building,” said Griffiths.

About 15,000 people took part in the civil rights march through the Bogside area of Derry at the height of the Troubles. They were protesting over a new law allowing people to be imprisoned without trial.

Army barricades blocked the marchers’ intended route, and soldiers from the Parachute Regiment moved in to make arrests. Protesters threw stones and rubble, and the soldiers opened fire, using live rounds.

The Saville inquiry, which spent 12 years investigating the events of Bloody Sunday, concluded in 2010 that none of the dead posed a threat. David Cameron, then prime minister, said the killings were “unjustified and unjustifiable”. No soldiers have faced trial.

“Jackie was 17 years old, he just went for the craic. He was 100% innocent when he was shot,” said Duddy.

“The person that shot Jackie knows he shot him. It’s up to him now to hold his hands up. That’s my dream. I’ve been carrying this around for the last 50 years and I’m getting tired now.

“There’s been too much suffering on all sides. So hopefully, maybe just maybe, whoever it was will wake up one day and say I can’t carry this any longer. Jackie’s been buried for the last 50 years but I would like to lay him to rest.”

11 Most Important Things In Relationship

There are many things more important in a relationship than love. There will be times when you don't love your partner with everything you have. And no matter how much you love them, there are just some people you shouldn't be with. I know. Before you get mad at me, you should know that I'm a total romantic. I eat sappy love poems for breakfast and I still tear up a little when my wife brings me flowers (or pizza), which is still all the time. But I've also seen some things and done some things that gave me a much more realistic (and less exciting) view on love. I worked in a women's shelter as a Domestic Violence Victim Advocate and at Planned Parenthood, as a Family Planning Assistant and Certified Responsible Sexuality Educator. Working with love and relationships and couples were my life. And every time someone said, "but I love them" as the sole reason why they should be together, my life got a whole lot more complicated. Hear me out, and I think ...

“A Match Made in Hell”: How Robert Thompson and Jon Venables Became Killers When They Were Just 10 Years Old

"A match made in hell." On February 12, 1993, two 10-year-old boys named Robert Thompson and Jon Venables abducted 2-year-old James Bulger from a shopping center in England.

Place to touch to make her be in sex mood

From her head all the way to her toes, here are 10 of the top erog enous zones to turn her on: Her Head Have you ever been on the receiving end of a scalp massage and felt those warm fuzzy tingles from head to toe? That’s because the skin on the top of your head is loaded with nerves that are extremely sensitive to the touch. Sti mulating the scalp in the right way releases a flood of feel-good ho rmones like serotonin and oxytocin. It also increases blood flow, not just to her brain (the largest s ex org an, remember?) but all over her body.Next time you and your partner are kissing or cuddling, open your fi ngers wide and run them slowly through her hair, lightly stroking her scalp with your fi ngertips. Start behind her ears, at the base of the head, and circulate to the front, kind of like you’re lathering shampoo into your hair. Scalp massages are both soothing and sensual: They help release tension, and get her in the mood for other sti mulating activities. Her Ears ...

A Germany Regiment marching down from their mountain positions surrender to the Americans, Austria, 1945

A Germany Regiment marching down from their mountain positions surrender to the Americans, Austria, 1945 After Germany's surrender in May 1945, millions of German soldiers remained prisoners of war. In France, their internment lasted a particularly long time. But, for some former soldiers, it was a path to rehabilitation. After Germany's surrender in May 1945, millions of German soldiers remained prisoners of war. In France, their internment lasted a particularly long time. But, for some former soldiers, it was a path to rehabilitation. French units lost out to US soldiers in the last meters of the race to reach Adolf Hitler's destroyed Alpine headquarters, the Berghof. But French troops in southern Germany in early May 1945 nonetheless made good progress, capturing one town after the other. After four years of Nazi occupation, France, under General Charles de Gaulle, joined the ultimately victorious Allied powers in 1944. And the country made sure the defeated German natio...

Ira Einhorn was A counterculture Icon of 1960s Philadelphia -- Then He Brutally Murdered His Girlfriend

Ira Einhorn was A counterculture Icon of 1960s Philadelphia -- Then He Brutally Murdered His Girlfriend  Ira Einhorn was a celebrated environmental activist and a radical voice in the anti-establishment movements of the 1960s and 1970s. But his messages of peace and love clearly didn't extend to his girlfriend of five years, Holly Maddux. When Maddux broke up with him in 1977, Einhorn threatened to throw her belongings into the street if she didn't come to pick them up. After Maddux went to retrieve her items, she mysteriously vanished. ⁠ ⁠ Then, about 18 months later, Einhorn's downstairs neighbor complained of a foul-smelling liquid dripping from the ceiling. Police soon found Maddux's badly beaten and partially mummified body in a trunk in Einhorn's closet. Not long after the grisly discovery, Einhorn fled to Europe, where he got married, settled down in a converted windmill in France, and evaded capture for 17 years. When he was eventually extradited and finally...

Inside Gary Ridgway’s Horrific Murders As The Green River Killer

Inside Gary Ridgway’s Horrific Murders As The Green River Killer Throughout the 1980s and '90s, Gary Ridgway prowled Washington state as the Green River Killer, hunting for sex workers and other vulnerable women to rape and murder. Though it may sound just like the plot of "The Silence of the Lambs," detectives on the trail of a vicious serial killer in 1980s Washington repeatedly interviewed an incarcerated Ted Bundy in order to get his psychological insights into the murderer's motivations. And at least one of Bundy's crucial predictions proved true when he suggested that the killer would revisit his crime scenes soon after the murders in order to have sex with the victims — as Bundy himself once did. Nevertheless, it took police years to finally catch that predator, who was eventually discovered to be Gary Ridgway, the "Green River Killer" who held the title of American history's most prolific murderer for decades.⁠ ⁠ From his work with the police...
