This morning we marked the 50th anniversary of the murders of Const David Montgomery (20) and Sgt Peter Gilgunn (26) in Londonderry on this day, 27th January 1972. Hundreds of Police Officers were murdered in NI over many years. Lest we forget. pic.twitter.com/kPTHjowrRT
It is vital that the service and sacrifice of all those who stood against terrorism is remembered. This is particularly important given the concerted attempts to rewrite history in Northern Ireland and to denigrate those who served in our security forces.
We will continue to ensure that Const Montgomery and Sgt Gilgunn are not forgotten."
