Remembrance service in Omagh
By ANNE PALMER
A SERVICE is to be held in Omagh tomorrow at which prayers will be said for the families of the victims.
Mike Reynolds, who is organising the event, said the town felt the impact of the tragedy keenly.
"The news clips I saw just took me back to the events in Omagh," he said.
"We know exactly how they're feeling and we want to show that we do understand by holding this short time of reflection."
The service will involve the Omagh Church Forum, the Community Youth Choir, the Focus group and the Omagh Victims Group.
Mr Reynolds said they also wanted to involve people from the town's ethnic community in a show of international togetherness.
Omagh council chairman Allan Rainey travelled to the Spanish Embassy in Dublin yesterday to sign a book of condolences for those who died in the Madrid massacre.
