Things to do in Derry, Northern Ireland: The Best Monuments & Statues
Derry (/ˈdɛri/), officially Londonderry (/ˈlʌndənˌdɛri/), is the second-largest city in Northern Ireland and the fourth-largest city on the island of Ireland. The name Derry is an anglicisation of the Old Irish name Daire (modern Irish: Doire) meaning "oak grove". In 1613, the city was granted a Royal Charter by King James I and gained the "London" prefix to reflect the funding of its construction by the London guilds. While the city is more usually known colloquially as Derry, Londonderry is also commonly used and remains the legal name.

We are talking about a place not in Africa nor in South America, we are talking about a place in Europe where a certain kind of people couldn't vote nor to have a job. This place is called Derry (someone goes on calling it Londonderry) and is situated in the North of Ireland. If you go there, visit it and you will realize how liberty and rights can established and defended.

As you enter the city across Craigavon Bridge, the first thing you see is the Hands Across the Divide monument. This striking bronze sculpture of two men reaching out to each other symbolises the spirit of reconciliation and hope for the future; it was unveiled in 1992, 20 years after Bloody Sunday.
