The First Minister, Arlene Foster, was among those who joined relatives

of the dead at a service of remembrance marking 40 years

Ten protestant workmen were shot dead by the IRA when their minibus

was ambushed near the County Armagh village in 1976.

The First Minister was among a number of leading politicians who

joined the people of Bessbrook for the MEPPiourial service in the Town

Hall -- memorial service, in the Town Hall, remembering the ten

protestant workmen murdered by the IRA at Kingsmills 40 years ago.

No-one has ever been arrested or stood trial in an earthly court for

the massacre on that evening. Justice demands that we must

remember. The relatives of the dead led the congregation outside, to lay

flowers at the Kingsmills' memorial. Among them the sole survival of the

massacre, who along with his granddaughter, brought their own

flowers, as he remembered his murdered workmates It's very

especialal. It really is. I was spared for, I don't know why, but

I'm really delighted that I was spared to have Evie here. And Evie,

what do you think of your granddad? I love him. He is a special man. He

is very special. I'm glad that he survived that night. I'm really glad

about that. The memory of Kingsmills looks set to go on.

Ulster Rugby have missed out on a place in the quarter-finals

Despite winning yesterday, Ulster needed a set of results

to go their way today involving other sides.

That didn't happen, so Ulster are out of the competition.

Tyrone are the winners of Gaelic football's Bank of Ireland,

The defending champions defeated Derry by five points

after extra-time in last night's final.

So For a fifth consecutive year, Tyrone are the winners of the

McKenna Cup but that doesn't tell the whole story. This game had just

about everything. Goals, penalties, spendings off, even the Derry

manager ended up shoved to the ground. In truth, it's a game Derry

should have won. They led for most of it and with just minutes

remaining had a three-point advantage. However Tyrone came

fighting back and three quick scores sent the game into extra time.

From then on, Mickey Harte's side were the better team, winners of the

McKenna Cup for a fifth consecutive year. Every time we play this

competition, we play it to win T you know, that's why we have been in so

many finals and why we have won so many T means a lot to us, our

players and we play with that attitude. An entertaining final with

more to come throughout the year. Derry will play Tyrone in the league

before both sides clash again in the Ulster Championship in May.

And looking ahead to tomorrow - Good Morning Ulster will be hearing

live from a local lorry driver caught up in the chaos at the French

That's from 6.30 to 9.00am on BBC Radio Ulster.

Now Cecilia is here with the weather forecast for the start of the week.

An exceptionally mild day across Northern Ireland today, temperatures

in the mid-teens and it'll stay mild overnight. It will be blustery

tonight but temperatures staying in double figures. On the other side of

the Atlantic an exceptional blizzard has brought record amounts of snow

to eastern States in the USA. That same area of low pressure will come

eastwards across the Atlantic T picks up lots of moisture and warms

up. By the time Tim pacts across the kavenlt Ireland, there won't be any

snow it it, but an awful lot of rain and strong winds and rainfall

warnings have been issued across parts of Britain. A mild, unsettled

week for Northern Ireland. Heavy rain at times and strong winds.

Monday probably not the wettest day of the coming week. There will be

some rain and drizzly weather through the morning. A lot of mist

and low cloud around. Quite blustery. But a mild start. As you

can see the rain eases off around the middle of the morning. We will

be waiting on another finger of rain to come in during the early

afternoon. But across eastern counties of Britain, England in

particulars there will be some sunshine to. It is mild everywhere

again, with amild southerly wind blowing. So lunch time tomorrow

afternoon, it is pretty wet across eastern counties of Northern

Ireland. Still mild initially but as it dries up and clears it will

become cooler, so we can expect a cooler night on Monday night. But

then Jonas arrives on Tuesday and with it, lots of rain. Rainfall

warnings issued for western areas of Britain. Also some very strong

winds. The Britain is expected to clear through Northern Ireland

fairly quickly but a double area of low pressure, so there is another

batch of wet weather to come in on Wednesday. Parts of Wales we are

particularly concerned about, with rainfall amounts building up. It is

still mild on Wednesday. The rain moves away. As it does, it'll turn

cooler but drier in many places on Thursday. Unfortunately more rain to

come in from the west during the second half of the day. So very

unsettled. Often wet and strong winds and on the whole, mostly mild

this week. Our next BBC Newsline

bulletin is at 6.25am. From everyone on the BBC

Newsline team, goodbye. MUSIC: (They Long To Be) Close To You
