Lyra McKee: Vigils held for journalist murdered in Derry

"The anger is there at so many different areas for so many different reasons," said Ms Quinn.

"Obviously to whoever shot the gun, the people who are hiding the guns, the people who are spurring these young people on to want to have guns."Sinead Quinn was among some of Lyra McKee's friends who visited the scene of her murder on SaturdayShe had been due to meet Ms McKee for dinner on Friday. "For Sara, her partner, and her family, the fact that there has been such an outpouring of love for Lyra and outrage at her murder, and it doesn't bring her back but it it is so huge and a massive will from the people of Derry to say 'we don't want this'," said Ms Millar."She embraced stuff with incredible spirit. She was this small person with a heart the size of the world but her personality was so magnetic that people didn't say no to her.

Bishop of Derry Donal McKeown said he plans to use his Easter Sunday service to talk to his community about Ms McKee's death. "This place will be a better place when the community says 'no, we want a good future for our children and we will remove from our midst anything that actually threatens our young people, corrupts them," he said.
