Six men were arrested, of whom five were Belfast-born Roman Catholics, while John Walker was born in Derry. All six had lived in Birmingham since the 1960s. Five of the men, Hill, Hunter, McIlkenny, Power and Walker, had left the city on the early evening of 21 November from New Street Station, shortly before the explosions. They were travelling to Belfast to attend the funeral of James McDade, an IRA member who had accidentally killed himself while planting a bomb in Coventry (Hill was also intending to see an aunt in Belfast who was sick and not expected to live). They were seen off from the station by Callaghan.
Lets remember those for whom there could be no appeals?

The Remembrance Day bombing (also known as the Enniskillen bombing or Poppy Day massacre) took place on 8 November 1987 in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. Eleven people were killed and 63 injured when a Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) bomb exploded near the town's war memorial (cenotaph) shortly before a Remembrance Sunday ceremony – held to commemorate British military personnel. The bombing has been described by the BBC as a turning point in The Troubles, and an attack that shook the IRA "to its core".
