Prince Charles returns to Omagh to remember bombing victims 20 years on | ITV News
The Omagh bomb in 1998 killed more people than any other single event in the many years of what became known as The Troubles.
The rain held off just long enough in the memorial garden this afternoon where they remembered the 29 who died.
And just as he did in the days after the bomb 20 years ago, Prince Charles laid a wreath and paused for a few moments’ silence.

Walking past the Omagh Memorial pillar in sunlight, June 2009
The Omagh Bomb Memorial and Garden, co-designed by artist Sean Hillen and landscape architect Desmond FitzGerald and executed by the Memorial Working Group, was installed in 2008 to commemorate the worst single bombing incident of the Northern Irish 'Troubles' in 1998, in which 29 adults and two unborn children were killed.
The design brief required the bomb site to be 'connected' to the Memorial Garden 300m away around a corner.
The Memorial design comprises a monumental glass pillar on the bomb site and sun-tracking mirrors installed in the memorial garden to bring a shaft of any sunlight via more mirrors to the actual bombsite. The light is shone down through a traditionally-cut crystal glass 'heart' form, mounted in the top of the pillar in a way that it is lit with refractions and from certain point a person can look up into it and through it be looking directly into heavily filtered but unmistakably real sunlight.
The present effect is walking through a beam of filtered sunlight as you walk along the pavement.
Part of the inspiration is the very long history of the use of light as a symbol, and the fact that the bomb site is almost always otherwise in the shade.
The mirror system is presently set up so that the strongest effect, where you can look through the glass pillar into sunlight from the garden, happens from the point of view of a person on the opposite pavement as demonstrated in this video.

N. IRELAND: BRITAIN'S PRINCE CHARLES VISITS OMAGH
English/Nat
Britain's Prince Charles has visited Omagh in Northern Ireland, to see first hand the damage left in the wake of Saturday's deadly bombing.
The Prince toured the site of the bombing that shocked the province last weekend and threw the peace process into question.
He did so as Omagh residents held the first of many funerals to come for the 28 people killed in the brutal attack.
The bombing, which has been blamed on Irish republican extremists, has renewed fears in the British-ruled province just four months after the historic peace agreement that now stands in peril.
The Prince of Wales toured the bomb site of the bombing, joined by British Northern Ireland Secretary of State Mo Mowlam.
He added a bouquet of flowers to the dozens already left at the site to remember the victims.
The bomb struck on Saturday morning, tearing through streets that were bustling with people doing their weekend shopping and attending a local carnival.
As Prince Charles saw, all that is left at the scene now are bombed-out buildings, rubble and more charred reminders of Northern Ireland's bloody history.

Omagh Community Youth Choir in New Orleans
On the Omagh Community Youth Choirs recent tour to the United States they took time out of their busy schedule to do an impromptu performance on the streets of New Orleans. The guitar case was set down and they did a short set for the people walking by.
When the set was done the choir were getting ready to leave but one man came up to Musical Director Daryl Simpson and asked for another song for his girlfriend who was standing near by. It was soon clear what this man had in mind and the choir quickly got back into position and started singing a version of Fleetwood Macs 'Songbird'.
He then proceeded to take his girlfriend in front of the choir and ask what will probably be the most scary question he will ever ask..
