Bloody Sunday (1972)

United Kingdom, June 15, 2010: David Cameron's apology after the Saville Report Few apologies have been received like this one. Families who had spent 38 years insisting their relatives were innocent joined the crowds outside Derry's Guildhall watching Cameron on a big screen as he called the killings unjustified and unjustifiable and said, on behalf of the country, that he was deeply sorry; the crowd's cheers greeted his confirmation that none of the victims had been armed. The follow-through is where it falters. Only one soldier, known as Soldier F, was ever brought to trial, and in October 2025 he was acquitted of two murders and five attempted murders, a verdict the families condemned.
