Dundonians march through city centre to pay respects to murdered journalist Lyra McKee

Journalists took to the streets of Dundee city centre at the weekend to pay their respects to slain reporter Lyra McKee.

The local branch of the National Union of Journalists (NUJ) held the march down Reform Street in honour of the Northern Ireland writer, who died earlier this month.

Around 25 people took part in the short parade, which started at Albert Square and ended in City Square. The marchers were joined by bagpipers as Reform Street was briefly closed to cars to make way for them.

Ms McKee was killed on April 18 as a riot broke out in the Creggan area of Derry. Shots were fired at police officers and she was hit in the head.

The New IRA has claimed responsibility for the attack and apologised, saying the police were the target. A search for the killer is continuing.

Branch secretary Jim Symon said: “Lyra was a journalist who stood up for human rights and wasn’t afraid to speak out in support of what she believed in.

“She was very active in the LGBT community and known for speaking out about the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

“The Dundee branch of the NUJ celebrate her life and mourn her loss.

“It was an honour to lead the march and see people come out to pay their respects for Lyra.”

Police in Northern Ireland released CCTV footage of the suspected gunman last week in their search for the killer.

Crimestoppers has offered a £10,000 reward for information leading to the conviction of those responsible.

The death marks the first time a journalist has been killed in the UK since the assassination of Northern Irish reporter Martin O’Hagan, who was shot and killed by the Loyalist Volunteer Force in 2001.
