Armed forces veterans organised a rally of over 4000 bikers to descend on London to highlight the case of a soldier in his late seventies who is to be prosecuted for Bloody Sunday. Thousands of veterans and their supporters joined the ‘Rolling Thunder ride for Soldier F’ rally which maked its way into London on 12 April 2019.The Public Prosecution Service recently decided there was enough evidence to prosecute ‘Soldier F’ for the murders of James Wray and William McKinney, who were shot at the 1972 civil rights march in Londonderry.

However supporters of army veterans have expressed alarm at elderly ex-soldiers facing prosecution so many decades after the events.
