IN PICTURES: 50 photos from the 10th anniversary Massereene murders remembrance ceremony

Family, friends and local people from Northern Ireland gathered outside Massereene Barracks on Thursday to remember the two British soldiers who were gunned down by dissident republicans 10 years ago.

Sappers Mark Quinsey from Birmingham and Patrick Azimkar from London were murdered on March 7, 2009 as they went outside the barracks to collect and pay for pizzas they had ordered - two other soldiers and two civilians were also injured in the attack.
