Today is the Anniversary of the Admiral Duncan bombing.

 

Today we remember 30th April 1999, when a bomb packed with up to 1,500 four-inch nails was detonated in the Admiral Duncan gay pub on Old Compton Street in London. Nik Moore, 31, John Light, 32, and Andrea Dykes, 27, were all killed and a further 79 people were injured in an attack by a neo-Nazi extremist. The man at front in the black and white photo is David Morley (in the dark T-Shirt) who was the assistant manager at the Admiral Duncan and survive the attack, 5 years later he was beaten to death on the embankment by a group of homophobes, next time somebody asks you why we still need pride this is why, as acts like this are still going on around the world.
