Derry, also known as Londonderry, is a city on the River Foyle in Northern Ireland. It’s known for the intact 17th-century Derry’s Walls with 7 gates. Within the walls, spired St. Columb’s Cathedral displays artefacts from the 1688–9 Siege of Derry. Near the Peace Bridge, the Tower Museum has city views and historical exhibits. Huge stained-glass windows adorn the neo-Gothic red sandstone Guildhall.
Derry 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.
The old walled city lies on the west bank of the River Foyle, which is spanned by two road bridges and one footbridge. The city now covers both banks (Cityside on the west and Waterside on the east). The district administered by Derry City and Strabane District Council contains both Londonderry Port and City of Derry Airport.
Derry is close to the border with County Donegal, with which it has had a close link for many centuries. The person traditionally seen as the founder of the original Derry is Saint Colmcille, a holy man from Tír Chonaill, the old name for almost all of modern County Donegal, of which the west bank of the Foyle was a part before 1610. In 2013, Derry was the inaugural UK City of Culture, having been awarded the title in 2010.

UK: N. IRELAND: CATHOLICS CANCEL PROTEST MARCH
English/Nat
Catholic residents in Londonderry have cancelled a protest rally - clearing the way for a peaceful Protestant march, that earlier had threatened to turn violent.
The Protestant marchers, known as Apprentice Boys, postponed plans to parade along the historic walls of Londonderry in Northern Ireland which over look the Catholic Bogside district.
But thousands more Apprentice Boys and their supporters have pressed ahead with a march through less controversial areas of the city.
Catholic residents of the Bogside district in Londonderry called off a counter protest to the Protestant Apprentice Boys march as tensions in the city appeared to die down on Saturday afternoon.
The afternoon announcement by the Bogside Residents Group was the last in a series of concessions by both Catholics and Protestants that diffused a potentially explosive situation in Londonderry.
Even though the rally was cancelled, some two thousand Catholics who had been readying to demonstrate at the so-called Free Derry Corner in central Londonderry, near where the Protestant Apprentice Boys order was parading, began to disperse.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
There has been no confrontation in this town today. We do not want any confrontation later on. We will monitor the situation and we will call people together if the need arises. I personally want to congratulate everybody for the magnificent discipline that people have shown. I think you all deserve a pat on the back.
SUPER CAPTION: Donncha MacNiallias, Bogside Residents Group
More than 10,000 Protestants had converged on Londonderry from far-flung towns and suburbs for the traditional parade.
It commemorate the day some 300 years ago when 13 apprentice boys thwarted a Catholic siege by locking the gates of the city.
The government had appeased the Catholics but enraged the Protestants earlier in the week by barring the parade from the section of the wall that abuts the Bogside, citing security.
The Catholics, in a conciliatory gesture on Friday night, agreed to reroute their own march away from a Protestant centre that had been a potential flashpoint for trouble.
One Republican politician called on calm and sensible thinking during a time when the fragile peace between the two communities could still flare up.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
I think it is very important that people on all sides who have political leadership positions do everything in their power to give proper and sensible, commonsense leadership at this very dangerous time. We have as you may know for some years now been involved in an attempt at a conflict resolution situation in this country akin to what has been happening in South Africa and what is happening in the Middle East at the moment. And we are attempting to encourage our political opponents to recognise the urgent need for political negotiations to tackle all of the issues at the heart of this conflict. Unfortunately for us our difficulty centres on the fact we have a weak British prime minister that has done absolutely nothing to encourage the Unionists to come to the negotiating table with the rest of nationalist Ireland and I think that in relation to what has happened over these particular marches that these are only a symptom of a greater problem and that greater problem will only be resolved when all parties sit together on an equal basis, all inclusive process, no preconditions, to discuss all of the issues which are outstanding.
SUPER CAPTION: Martin McGuinness, Sinn Fein Spokesman
Tensions appeared to be on the brink of flaring up but appeals to the nationalist (Catholic) crowd for calm appeared to be successful.
