The parade was in memory of IRA woman Patricia Black, who was killed along with Frank Ryan, on November 15, 1991, when an improvised explosive device she was carrying detonated prematurely near London.

An Army military band had been playing in theatre on St Peter’s Street in St Albans which the pair had planned to attack, when the device unexpectedly exploded killing her and Ryan.
