CASTLEDERG YOUNG LOYALISTS

FLUTE BAND

As the people of the Shankill Road in Belfast went about their daily lives two Provisional IRA/Sinn Fein members walk into Frizzell's fish shop dressed in white coats looking like delivery men. With them they carried a bomb which was to deliver death and destruction and reduce the shop to rubble seconds later. They had the bomb on a short timer of approx 11 seconds which was to secure their own escape, but not the innocent people doing their shopping in the immediate area. As they walked into the shop there were men, women and children in Frizzells. They knew that all of these people would die but that did not deter them on their deadly mission of murdering innocent civilians in a Protestant area of Belfast.

But the bombers made a fatal error setting the timer and with out warning to them either the bomb exploded prematurely. The carrier of the bomb IRA/Sinn Fein Thomas Begley died in the blast. The bomb was designed to send the force of the explosion upwards and as it did what it was designed to do, all of the upper building came down on the innocent people in the shop as well as themselves, who's intention was to set the bomb down and walk away unharmed.

The Shankill bomb massacre victims were:

John Desmond Frizzel 63 yrs Protestant married with three children a Civilian
Sharon McBride 29 yrs one child, daughter of John Desmond Protestant and Civilian also died
George Williamson 63 yrs Protestant married with two children a Civilian
Gillian Willamson 49 yrs Protestant married with two children a Civilian
Evelyn Baird 27 yrs two children Protestant and a Civilian
Michelle Baird 7 yrs old schoolgirl Protestant and a Civilian
Leanne Murray 13 yrs old schoolgirl Protestant and a Civilian
Michael Morrison 27 yrs three children Protestant and a Civilian
Wilma McKee 38 yrs two children Protestant married and a Civilian

Thomas Begley was one of the Provisional IRA/Sinn Fein who died planting the bomb which killed all of these innocent Protestant people. A life in hell fire is his reward and may it burn long and hot for eternity. The Provisional IRA/Sinn Fein member who accompanied Begley was severely injured in the blast but survived and was given nine life sentences
