Crowds turned out on the Shankill Road on Saturday for a procession and an act of remembrance at the site where Frizzell’s fish shop once stood.
A new memorial is to be unveiled on Monday to mark the 30th anniversary of an IRA bomb blast which devastated Belfast’s Shankill Road. Nine people, including two young girls, were killed in the bombing of Frizzell’s fish shop on October 23, 1993, while dozens were injured. One of the IRA bombers was also killed in the blast.
There was further devastation a week later when eight people were killed by loyalists in Greysteel, Co Derry, in what was regarded as a retaliatory attack. Speaking ahead of the event, UUP leader Doug Beattie challenged Sinn Fein to “recognise the suffering” caused by the actions of the Provisional IRA, and to “condemn all terrorist actions, regardless of the perpetrators”.
“On this, the 30th anniversary of the Shankill bombing, the Ulster Unionist Party joins with the entire community in remembering the nine innocent people who were murdered by the Provisional IRA on October 23 1993,” he said.
