It's 25 years to the day since the Greysteel massacre. Eight people died after loyalist gunmen opened fire in the Rising Sun Bar. They were John Burns, Moira Duddy, Joe McDermott, Victor Montgomery, James Moore, John Moyne, Stephen Mullan, and Karen Thompson. The killings were admitted by the UFF - a cover name for the UDA. It was, they said, in retaliation for the Shankill Road bombing a week beforehand. Adrian McAuley was the first paramedic on the scene of the massacre. He told Stephen what he remembers of that day.
