The House of Commons were united on all sides this afternoon following the publication of the official report into Bloody Sunday.
The release of the Saville Report, the culmination of a 12-year enquiry into the events of 30 January 1972, in which 14 unarmed people died, completely cleared all the protesters of any blame; something their families had long campaigned for.
The Prime Minister, David Cameron, told MPs that he was 'deeply sorry' for what had happened that day and Harriet Harman, Labour's acting leader echoed these sentiments.
Today's proceedings mean that one of the most shameful chapters in the history of Northern Ireland can now finally be closed.
