It will be a very special and symbolic screening in the heart of the cathedral where symbols of Peace and Reconciliation were born - perfectly complimenting everything that our remarkable Lyra represented. The author notes in the book's epilogue: "In England, somewhat recent claims of a paedophile ring centred on Westminster have largely been dismissed, meaning Hart's conclusions seem more readily accepted by the public than they may have been before."

I'm not one for conspiracy theories but when it is people you respect like Enoch Powell and Jim Molyneaux who express such suspicions, then they cannot be lightly dismissed - Jeffrey Donaldson At first, Canning thought that Lyra had tripped. But when she knelt down, she saw that Lyra’s head was haloed in blood, and put her hand to where the damage was. She screamed. We were absolutely delighted when Lyra agreed to entrust Excalibur Press with this book and were devastated to learn of her death just days before the book should have been going on pre-release and less than a month before she would have held it in her hand. Eight boys went missing in Belfast between 1969 and 1975. These weren’t victims of the IRA or the UVF; they weren’t “disappeared” by the paramilitaries. These boys belong to a different category.

A third man, aged 20, has been charged with riot, possession of petrol bombs and throwing petrol bombs. All MPs were covered by insurance as part of their job. Why had Bradford felt the need to take out an additional insurance policy, weeks before his death? It was a detail, a senior investigating officer on the case would later say he’d heard mentioned in the aftermath of Bradford’s death too, although it hadn’t been viewed as significant. If you want to understand modern Northern Ireland and, in particular, the struggles facing the Good Friday Generation, I'd highly recommend this book.

Just a short time before her death, Lyra had approved her cover and sent the final changes for her book, she should have been holding it in her hand at the end of April. I made another phone call, this time to Colin Wallace. During the 1970s, Wallace had been an information officer working for the British army in Northern Ireland, while simultaneously working for a secret intelligence unit. I’d asked him to dig around regarding Bradford and what he’d heard regarding the whispers that he’d been about to go public with something relating to Kincora.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday Agreement and the film invites viewers to consider the experience of young people in Northern Ireland, where deep divisions continue and where reconciliation is still awaited. Lyra was killed on the eve of Good Friday in April 2019 while reporting on violent disturbances in Derry.Yet there were a number of incidents the Jordans did remember. Bradford had mentioned taking out an extra life insurance policy in the weeks before his murder. British prime minister Theresa May, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and PresidentMichael D Higgins attended her funeral in Belfast, along with a host of other politicians from across the UK. She was also exercised by the “lost boys” of the Irish peace process – the youths and teenagers left behind and let down in the years following paramilitary ceasefires, the Good Friday agreement and the power-sharing government in Belfast.
