Regents Park remembers its murdered band

On the  morning of July 20, 1982, members of the Provisional IRA set off bombs in two London’s royal parks. In Regents Park, seven bandsmen were killed. No-one was ever charged with the outrage.

Today, the bands will play all afternoon in memory of those who died.

Like all who live near the park, I carry the sound of the blast in my ear.
