Relatives of some of those killed in the Stardust tragedy have shown solidarity with the families of Omagh bomb victims, as one of the best known campaigners gave evidence to the long-waited inquiry.

Michael Gallagher, whose son Aiden was among the 29 people, including a woman pregnant with twins, who died in the Real IRA attack in 1998, was described as a “figurehead” for many of those affected.
