I'm back with the late news at 10.10.

One of the Guildford Four, Gerry Conlon, has died in Belfast.

Mr Conlon spent 15 years in jail for IRA bombings in England in 1974.

Their convictions were quashed in 1989.

The images were powerful, the emotion of a wronged man clearly

visible as Gerry Conlon walked out of the Old Bailey to meet the

waiting media. I was imprisoned for 15 years for something I did not do,

something I did not then anything about. They had been wrongly

convicted of the 1974 pub bombings. It was to be 15 years before those

convictions were overturned by the Court of Appeal. Who is this? Gerry

Conlon. Do you have anything to say? I have cleared my conscience, I

advise you to do the same. Their story was told in the film In The

Name Of The Father. His father, urges Eppie Conlon --

Giuseppe Conlon was caught up in it. In a statement issued through a news

agency, Gerry Conlon's family said that the 15 years he spent in prison

wrongly had forced the world to open its closed eyes to the injustices

that had been done. In recent years, Mr Conlon had taken interest in

cases around the world where there had been claimed injustices. He did

not cry about his own situation, he opened up the public mind. Mr

Conlon, who was 60, died in Belfast this morning after an illness.

Two men have been assaulted on the Lagan Towpath in Lisburn

in what police say is a possible racially-motivated hate crime.

Two men in their 30s, who are believed to be Polish,

needed medical treatment after being assaulted by a group of men

on the path between Bridge Street and Hill Street early this morning.

Northern Ireland's Armed Forces Day in Newtownards.

It began with a parade by serving members and veterans

As well as military demonstrations, vintage vehicles,

and historical re-enactments, there was music and entertainment.

Golf and Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell

is currently in third place in the Irish Open golf tournament in Cork.

Stephen Watson has been following the third day's play

A golfer from Northern Ireland has not won the Irish Open since Fred

Daly 68 years ago. Now a player from the same town

Daly 68 years ago. Now a player from repeating that achievement. The

popular Graeme McDowell lies in third place, just to macro shots of

the -- to macro shots of the lead. I love to give the fans what they want

-- I would love to give the fans what they want. It will be tough

there are a lot of great players. I need to stay patient and who knows,

we will have some fun when we do it. There is another player in

contention. He is four shots from the lead. I have played with big

names and beaten them all, so I will go out tomorrow and play my game.

Now here's Barra Best with the weather forecast.

We have had plenty of dry and bright weather today.

The longest day of the year. Form here on in, the days will get

shorter until Christmas. Under some clear skies overnight, temperatures

will dip into single figures. I tomorrow morning, there will be the

odd pocket of mist or fog around but that will lift through the morning.

Tomorrow, mainly dry and bright. There will be more cloud around on

Sunday than today but there will be brighter spells and the odd spell of

sunshine. Across Britain and Ireland, it is a largely settled day

as high pressure remains in control. The exception is Scotland, cloudy

with some wet weather for Northern areas. Drier and brighter elsewhere

and warmer as well, temperatures in the mid-20s in the South. The cloud

may be thick enough to give one or two showers, to just keep the

umbrella handy in case was not the showers will be few and far between.

In any sunshine tomorrow, they could be highs of 19 or 20 Celsius.

Pressured was the north coast because of the onshore breezes. Into

Monday, a few showers here and there. Many paces will stay dry with

temperatures of 19 or 20 Celsius. Again, cool on the coast because of

the onshore breezes. It is later in the week that we will see a

breakdown in the weather with more wet weather on the way.
