0:23:38 > 0:23:41that he will attempt to make Ulster ungovernable helpful?
0:23:41 > 0:23:44Ha! What do YOU think?
0:23:44 > 0:23:49I mean, Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54And, as such, the laws of the United Kingdom must be upheld
0:23:54 > 0:23:58and WILL be upheld. And I make that absolutely clear.

0:24:14 > 0:24:19Ladies and gentlemen, could I call for quietness?
0:24:19 > 0:24:24Nothing should happen today that would dishonour the name of Mr Bradford.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Be quiet, please.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46CROWD JEERS
0:24:46 > 0:24:48Traitor!
0:25:07 > 0:25:10I'll tell you what's disgraceful.
0:25:10 > 0:25:15That people that murdered Mr Bradford and Mr Prior,
0:25:15 > 0:25:18who has the blood on his hands and will not do anything about it,
0:25:18 > 0:25:20those are the disgraceful scenes.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23And the disgraceful man is Mr Prior.
0:25:37 > 0:25:42A service of hymns and a silent tribute as well. There were many in tears and many also angry as well.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47This was a scene repeated around smaller war memorials across the province.
0:25:47 > 0:25:51And as the hour of the funeral came, Belfast's main shopping streets
0:25:51 > 0:25:55almost emptied as the mourners lined all sides of the City Hall.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03MUSIC: "Funeral Pyre" by The Jam

0:26:25 > 0:26:28MUSIC: "Funeral Pyre" by The Jam
0:26:48 > 0:26:53My wee wean's in the house. What am I going to do? A wee newborn baby.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55I'd go down the street again and get through.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59- Get through the other way? - You might not, but you may be lucky. Everything's stopped.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03I'd better get through. What am I going to do with a baby in the house?
0:27:03 > 0:27:07- You know the time it's to be closed off at. - No. 12pm it was to be closed off at.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11I tell you one thing - If Paisley was here, Paisley would let me through.

0:27:29 > 0:27:35If an IRA man comes to a Protestant home and my men are there,
0:27:35 > 0:27:38they will kill that IRA man. Yes, sir.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41What if they found themselves in conflict with British forces?
0:27:41 > 0:27:45If the British security forces are going to join up with the IRA
0:27:45 > 0:27:49to kill Protestants, then we will be in conflict with them.

0:28:03 > 0:28:09I am gratified that the American powers-that-be
0:28:09 > 0:28:14see me as an obstacle to them achieving Irish unity.
0:28:14 > 0:28:20And I am gratified that they realise that I have fierce opposition
0:28:20 > 0:28:24to the London-Dublin Summit unity proposals.
0:28:24 > 0:28:27Do you really think Mrs Thatcher is partly behind this?
0:28:27 > 0:28:28Yes, I'm absolutely sure.
0:28:28 > 0:28:32I found out today about consultations that were going on.
0:28:42 > 0:28:44I sing, "What's-a matter you?" You sing, "Hey!"
0:28:44 > 0:28:48Then I sing-a the rest and then, at the end, we can all-a sing,
0:28:48 > 0:28:52"Ah, Shaddap-a you face!" OK? Let's-a try it, really big.
