A Cookstown teenager whose grandfather was murdered by the IRA has just returned from Washington DC.

Danielle Hamilton who’s 19, spent five days in the United States on the Project Common Bond programme.

It helps to promote peace-building and reconciliation.

Her grandfather David Graham was shot in Coalisland by the Provisional IRA in 1977.

Mr Graham was a part-time member of the UDR.

He died of his injuries 10 days later in hospital.

No one has ever been convicted following his death.
