'Today we remember the 21 people who lost their lives so cruelly and all who were injured, many of them grievously'
The King has marked the 50th anniversary of the Birmingham pub bombings by sending a personal message praising the relatives of those killed and survivors for their “exceptional strength of spirit”.
The King’s message, read out on his behalf by The Duchess of Edinburgh, said: “As you come together to mark 50 years since the terrible events of 21st November 1974, my wife and I would like to take this opportunity to say that you, and all those affected by this dreadful attack, remain very much in our thoughts.
The message added: “To see the brave strides forward that have since been made towards lasting peace and meaningful reconciliation, and the close bonds of love and friendship which now bind this city together, makes me exceptionally proud and thankful. “I am very sorry that I cannot be with you all today, but my thoughts, prayers and very best wishes remain with you all as you mark this saddest of days.”
