Sale of Parachute Regiment flags at Derry parade a "setback" for community relations

The son of a man shot dead on Bloody Sunday has said the sale of Parachute Regiment flags at a parade in Derry over the weekend has 'setback community relations'.

The chair of the Bloody Sunday Trust, Tony Doherty, said that the organiser of the event, the Apprentice Boys of Derry, had to "take responsibility for all that happens".

The controversy comes after a stall on the Glendermott Road in the city was pictured allegedly selling several flags, including those with Parachute Regiment and UVF emblems.
