Events are taking place across Birmingham today to mark 42 years since the Birmingham Pub Bombings. Twenty one people were killed and 182 were injured when blasts ripped through the Tavern in the Town and Mulberry Bush pubs on November 21st 1974.
Twenty one people murdered in the Birmingham Pub Bombings were remembered in an emotional service tonight, 42 years on from the unsolved attack. A candlelit vigil was held outside St Phillips Cathedral to honour the 21 people who lost their lives.
They've become the first to be posthumously awarded the Freedom of the City, something their families say means so much, as they continue their long battle for justice. Chris Halpin reports.
The 21 people murdered by terrorists in the Birmingham pub bombings are to be given the posthumous Freedom of The City.
This year the group successfully campaigned for inquests to be resumed which were opened in 1974 but never completed.
Six men were wrongly convicted for the bombings, Paddy Hill was one of the Birmingham 6, and now a play is showing about his life.
