10 INTERESTING GRAVES in Derry City Cemetery!

Have you ever taken a tour of Derry's famous graveyard? 🪦
Derry City Cemetery is a cemetery based in the Creggan area of Derry, Northern Ireland. By 1867 the graveyards at St Columb's Cathedral, St. Augustine’s Church, and Long Tower Chapel had all stopped accepting ‘new’ burials leading to this cemetery becoming the main burial ground for the city's Protestant and Catholic population.
It is the final resting place for over 70,000 people and includes graves of victims of the cholera pandemics of the late 1800s, some of those who fought in WWII and, most famously, victims and casualties of the Troubles.

    You missed one important family Cecil Frances Alexander and her Bishop Husband. Cecil wrote the famous song All things bright and Beautiful.

    Thank you so much for this. I live on the other side of the world and can never visit my hero Martin McGuinness' grave so much appreciated. (And you can't get detail on Google maps).The other stories also most interesting.

    When you don't wear your poppies because of bloody Sunday just remember you are disrespecting those you talk about who died under the crown in WW2.

    Maybe in your opinion. WW2 was a fight against Nazis, nothing to do with the Crown.

    Disrespecting cannon fodder to fight their oil and mineral wars. I was one of the lucky ones to come back decades later and I am still haunted by my experiences years later.

    Just to correct the record, this author DID put forth the effort to caption, but KZread is freezing and messing up so bad I thought he had not because it was minutes after the video started and I finished my post. I am just going to try again tomorrow, I can barely type for the freezes.

    Where is this Derry city that you talk of? Is that the place officially and historically known as Londonderry? This is simply republican propaganda.

    The city of London the crime capital of the world. Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story and one - sided bigotry.
