A CHURCH remembrance service was held in Manchester yesterday to mark 25 years since an IRA bomb attack in the city.
A total of 65 people were injured on December 3 1992 when two devices exploded – one close to a department store and the other near Manchester Cathedral.
Yesterday's service of remembrance was held at St Ann's Church.
Kenny Donaldson of the South East Fermanagh Foundation (Seff) said: "Over 200 were in attendance at the service and the follow-up reception was also well attended."
It was not the last time the city was targeted, as in June 1996 the IRA parked in the city centre a lorry carrying 3,300 lbs of homemade explosives – the biggest bomb detonated in Britain since the Second World War.
More than 200 people were injured from the explosion, but none were killed.
