The families of those who died are calling on the new Secretary of State to meet with them

The families of the Ballymurphy massacre will take part in their annual March of Truth today.

This week marks the 45th anniversary.

They want to highlight their demand for further resources for outstanding legacy inquests.

They'll leave Springfield Park in Belfast at noon, walking past all the points where their loved ones died.

In February, Lord Chief Justice Declan Morgan sent an inquest units proposal to the then Justice Minister David Ford, which was passed to the Executive for discussion.

After having not been tabled, the families are calling on the new Secretary of State James Brokenshire to meet them in the near future.
