Full report: Deal bombing - 25 years on
25 years ago today an IRA bomb tore through the barracks at the Royal Marines School of Music in Kent. Eleven young bandsmen lost their lives.
The horrifying attack in the seaside town of Deal was one of the worst terrorist outrages ever committed on British soil. The bombers were never brought to justice.
It was an atrocity which shocked and scarred the town and the country - but also gave rise to great acts of courage and dignity. Watch Sarah Saunder's report.
