    There have been four days in the history of the Ireland and Great Britain known as Bloody Sunday. The most recent one was the one in Derry.

    Sunday Bloody Sunday was a song by the Irish Rock band, U2. At the time they wrote it, they denied that it was anything to do with Derry, but later they changed their minds.
