Overview
- More than 1,500 people joined the remembrance walk in Buncrana, many wearing red and white, following a minute’s silence and a song in tribute.
- The event finished at the Lough Swilly RNLI station, where donations were collected for the lifeboat service.
- Louise James said the loss "feels like it was yesterday" and described the turnout as overwhelming yet uplifting.
- Reports again noted hazards identified after the 2016 incident, including algae on the slipway, missing warning signs, and an open crowd-control gate.
- Further tributes are planned, including a May 8 gala in Derry, and James is writing a book expected later this year.
