Broadcast (New Zealand): 17th March, 1988.
This playlist contains videos of the attack and the subsequent violence over the next few days.
The Milltown Cemetery attack (also known as the Milltown Massacre) took place on 16 March 1988 in Belfast's Milltown Cemetery. During a Provisional IRA funeral, Ulster Defence Association (UDA) member Michael Stone attacked the crowd with grenades and pistols, killing three and wounding over sixty.
As the coffins were being lowered into the ground, a burst of gunfire was heard and this was initially mistaken for the usual paramilitary firing party. Some people even applauded. However, it was not a salute. A lone Ulster Defence Association member from East Belfast named Michael Stone had infiltrated the crowd in an attempt to eliminate the republican leadership with several RGD-5 hand grenades and two handguns, a 9mm Browning Hi-Power semi-automatic pistol and a .357 Magnum revolver. Stone killed three people, including IRA member Kevin Brady, who had attempted to disarm him. The whole event was recorded by television news cameras.
Stone made his escape towards the motorway, chased by several members of the crowd, but continued firing his handguns and throwing hand grenades at his pursuers. Stone made it as far as the M1 motorway, but was caught by the crowd, who began beating him and shouting that they would kill him. He was eventually put in the back of a car and was being driven away to be shot by the IRA, when the car was intercepted by the Royal Ulster Constabulary, who arrested him and took him to Musgrave Park Hospital for treatment of his injuries. Michael Stone later confessed to the three killings at Milltown and a further three paramilitary killings committed beforehand. The final toll was three dead and upwards of sixty injured.
WE SHOULD ALL LEARN FROM HISTORY AND NOT REPEAT THE MISTAKES AND GUIDE OUR YOUTH 2 A BETTER FUTURE.
Every mistake in history is always repeated.
This now happened nearly 34 years ago. Time to move on put the past behind us.
Today all of us Catholic and Protestant must stand together and defeat this horrible pandemic that is crippling us at the moment. Each one of us get this vaccine to protect ourselves and or families Catholic and Protestant.
Ireland has been fighting against imperialism for the guts of 1000 years the only way we will have true peace on this island is if our occupiers leave us alone if you’re from NI you’ll at least subconsciously agree with me
These both sides fought for nothing. Anyone seen Belfast and Dublin today. They full of gangs of Middle Eastern and African migrants. They will occupy Ireland more than the Brits ever did
Some of the comments in here show this shit will never end.

It’s those in the republican community that don’t want it to end.
@@Brodie-dj8hf that is such a hypocritical thing to say. Look at unionist bonfires every year, they are full of sectarian hate. I’ve never once seen a bonfire without an Irish flag on it. At least nationalists don’t do something like that every years
@@bmacdonald3557 the catholics hold their own bonfires on 15th august where they burn the union flag as well as pictures of children of the royal family
@@bmacdonald3557Every year I see Irish nationalists calling for a cleansing or “final solution” to the unionists question. These are the same people who call unionists sectarian and hate filled.
I'm an ex serving British soldier, served in Ireland. I went to Dublin with my ex for a weekend and went on the history tour. Fuck me, is it any wonder the Irish hate us after what our ancestors did to them. I didn't know all this as a young soldier though. War and hate are wasted emotions.
And now we have Brexit
It's a shame that common people have to suffer and die so the elites can get richer and fatter.
Every nations ancestors have been at some point or other guilty of wrong doing but to use history as validation for violence or murder of innocent civilians in modern day Europe is no excuse. The Brits have indeed been very harsh in the past but were men of their time. Conversely, many nations would not be where they are today were it not for us. America? Canada? The Commonwealth. (Think on that word). The indoctrinated hatred that exists in NI manifested violence that exceeded the severity of life under the Crown. The difference between us and them is that we fight with honour.. They shoot, and run away and kill each other. Vermin.
As the saying goes, "What you did, you did already. Yes, centuries of oppression by the British with good ole Oliver Cromwell, The Act of Union, confiscation of Irish land and the eradication of the native language for any conqueror is to kill their language. I know several Brits here in America and some mention the bombings on your mainland. That's most unfortunate and I don't condone violence but I understand why it happens. I've never heard one mention any remorse about what the British did in Ireland or India, etc. What amazes me more is the manner we were treated here in the United States given the influx of Irish in the nineteenth century. We were depicted as apes and not even considered white. However, we've "made it" here in the USA and it's taken us a very long time to overcome our self-esteem issues and realize just how beautiful we are and what we've contributed to this world. What amazes me about the Irish is just how hospitable they are given what they endured. For some Irish, or people of Irish descent there is still a hatred and a quiet anger for the British. Life is short and tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone. I'm not going to hate anybody because I'm not going to surrender to hate. Perhaps the Irish in Ireland just want to hear "I'm sorry". It's like the horror of what was done to indigenous people and blacks here in the United States. NOBODY likes to be mistreated and that goes for all races as the world is replete with invasions of countries. As you're aware, a horrible mess was created in Ulster. I wish you and your family well Sir.
@@OSTARAEB4 I hear that. I'd like to buy you and Dobly58 ( above) a beer a have a chat. I think what I'm saying is that when I was a young dumb squaddie in the 80's, I knew nothing about what the brits did to Irish folk way back then. I always wanted to be a soldier, set my sights ( excuse the pun) on being a soldier, and that's what I did. I can't speak for all ex squaddies, but, I suspect most were like me and didn't realise how it all started. We were just a pawn in the political game. Interesting the comment about, " Life is short and tomorrow is not guaranteed to anyone", you hit the nail on the head there, please have a look at an app, web site I have developed if you have time, maybe leave me some feedback, myfarewellnote.com , this is how I feel now, this is the person I am now. We should get our priorities right, its about family and friends, and hate is a wasted emotion. I have done a lot of Motorsport in my time, especially Rallying. I've been to Ireland on a few occasions, and compete in the Belgium rally championship. You couldn't meet a more open fun loving lot than the Irish and Belgiuns , very open and accommodating.
In the words of the late great Colin McRea " Your here for a good time, not a long time" and Thomas Paine " To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason, is like feeding medicine to a dead person". The last one applies to our government , police and court system, its not fit for purpose. Best of health and happiness to you and yours, Steve
The "small bangs" are the popping fuses of the grenades leading to the five-second burn before detonation.
Just stop it ! All of you, give peace a chance
Love watching IRA vermin getting exterminated. Well done Michael Stone!!!

Both sides will have to join up one day. Belfast and Dublin being overtaken by illegal migrants
There's nothing heroic about valuing vengeance over peace.
Qué fue lo que pasó exactamente?
Religion, religion happened
Michael stones hat is in a drinking club in Belfast.
Visited this cemetary - the gibraltar 3's grave is a little confusing. Are the 3 coffins stacked on top of each other or do they extend to the left of the marker- in which case that plot would have no more space left. Anyone know the answer?
stacked
Jesus that corrigan has stranglers hands....
I always thought the crowd killed the guy who ambushed the funerals but apparently he was taken into custody 😮
once they say his hairstyle they decided to let him suffer no more.
Yes the ruc conveniently arrived to save him
Omg of course he is not well apparently though
We all need to remember that no matter what we’re human we need to stop things like this happening again all this nonsense in Northern Ireland has poisoned Scotland and Scottish football for hundreds of years we need to forgive and remember those who have lost their lives on both sides we can’t change the past but must change the future and move on in a united civilised way its time to eradicate this sectarian nonsense once and for all and also it’s not all about religion it’s about land the British kept from Ireland they should just give them it let bygones be bygones
the IRA are commies. the most evil ideology that’s killed over 200 million people in the past 100 years. Communist revolutions need to be put down. It was. It will be if it’s attempted again in the future.
Doubtless everyone in the comments section agreeing with each other?
Apart from those on the drink, the substance abusers and the repetitive psychopaths.

On a lighter note was that Father Ted at 3:43 in this news report. 19/8/2014. Irish time 21:55. Tuesday.
Silvia STRAFFI yes this is the Gibraltar three funeral and Father Ted is a comedy that was on Irish television in which the priest at 3:43 running away reminds me of.

Oh dear
The cameraman remains standing
That's the first thing I noticed!
Filmed Ulster Loyalists trying to murder Roman Catholics while Sinn Féin leadership where way off target.
There has to have been RUC and probably British Army collusion. Michael Stone is a psychopathic murderer and obviously inept at what he does. He was armed with hand grenades, he should have been able to kill dozens if not a hundred or so. Some hold this cowardly idiot to be a hero. He was no more than a lone wolf, inept self proclaimed soldier. If he was any kind of soldier he’d have done a better job. The thing is, that you just didn’t do that. Funerals were traditionally and in an unspoken understanding off limits. This was one of the most cowardly acts of the whole troubles. He’s a mad man and he’s back in Prison where he deserves to be and will remain until his death.
Is it really easy to be a knobhead, or do you get up early each day and practice?
Surely masked men firing volleys of shots over coffins in the past should be way off limits on Church grounds too. Or are you being selective.
He wanted to get caught....an egotistical maniac with sociopath tendencies

Terrorism? Yous cunts and the Americans invade countries and call the people who were born and live there terrorists. You did it to us and now yous are doing the same shit to the people in middle east. the british and American governments are 2 biggest terrorist organisations on this planet.
A picture shows gerry Adams hiding behind a child but with his family's track record it's not surprising.
LEGGIE YTPOWERY he probably had a quick grope.
BILLYNWA playing with his wee wullie winkie Billy 😁.
Stone later published an autobiography, None Shall Divide Us, which included an account of the attack, in which he wrote that he deeply regretted the hurt he had caused the families of those he killed, *and paid tribute to the bravery of two of the men killed while pursuing him at the cemetery*
Jacquie Walton is this my pal jacquie how's it going 😁 he's gonna be a tad remorseful never gonna know if dissidents are gonna come for him.
He knew he'd been dropped by the Loyalist community when no-one turned up for his trial and not even his handlers put in a word for him. Unfortunately for him it's the Brits who have kept him in jail and turned down all his appeals ....P.S. Why did you change your tag from Leggie65 ?
Odd that when the RUC and British don't police a funeral mayhem happens .
Maybe if that bastards stayed out the wouldn't have these problems

Did jerry Adams borrow those glasses off Deirdre Barlow?? 🤔🤔
Hahaha nice one.
wow
Live near the cemetery wasnt born during the troubles but heard about him.
It’s good that much modern history is available on film. The problem about showing it brings out all the emotionalism and sociopathic comment which solves nothing.
Wind your neck in. A few IRA sewer rats less is always a good thing. Well done Michael Stone. Fucking legend
Height of the disrespect of Loyalist terrorism
So, following your twisted logic Einstein, the thousands who attended the funerals of loyalist sectarian killers should all have been killed. Grow up you moron.
brian w No, no one should have been killed. Tf you talking about
Everybody attending republican or loyalist funerals support these groups apart from the families but some family's crave revenge and don't be kidded otherwise. At the 2 corporals murders 1 week later the whole cortege plus the cunts in charge of security were Pira members they had weapons nearby nobody could deny this, if you watch that funeral look at the fear in there eyes that day showed republicans could be taken out anytime.
I think what i said was clear and concise.
Taken out anytime? Perhaps that's why lonly 4% of loyalist victims were republican activists (even with mi5 handing them details willy-nilly) - the rest were taxi drivers and kids returning home from a night out. The provos, on the other hand, had a much higher ratio of killing their declared enemy. They drove massive bombs the length of Britain - which killed a damn sight less casualties than british bombs dropped from remote controlled drones on innocent civilians, or the droves of civilians being killed in Yemen with weapons Britain knowinly provides. The provos also killed several leading politicians, blew thatcher and her shower of bastards from their beds, mortared downing street, and inflicted the greatest daily loss on british troops since ww2 - in response to the paras cowardly slaughter of unarmed civilians. They put manners on them. Go compare.
Its the 21st century, put your hate behind you like everyone else has.
It's the 21st century - get out of someone elses country where you never had a right to be.

If your not concerned about over here then don't watch videos about over here... simple!
Religion impossible.
The ruc stayed away. As it was collision.
Yeh yeh yeh
No. They ended up saving the scumbag
the RUC stayed away because the catholic church appealed for them to stay away and gave them assurances no illegal activity would happen or do you not like facts?
people need to stop arguing on this over bigoted secterianism we are a democratic society and children can view these comments please wise up
Unfortunately...that sort of thing won't stop.

"hijacking cars and burning buses" lmfao
Such brave guys, brave brave men..
Quién murió?
The Provos should have given Brits a break, and used their full force in fighting the loyalist sectarian murderers and gangs.
I suppose the thinking behind what they were doing was that they did not want a civil war while some factions of the Unionists did not all though.
I would say during that era it was very close to a full scale war breaking out.
Mike fuck right off. You tube
while the uvf deserved to and almost certainly would have gotten wiped out by the ira considering the vast difference in organization and skill in the two groups it would have been a large propaganda victory for the british as they would be able to portray the IRA as sectarian thugs and turn them away from their real goal
@@sataniccyanide6976 It depends. The loyalists were quite well equipped in their RHC branches. Their fighting force was quite poor but the RHC sections would have made life almost impossible for the IRA elements once they’d defeated the UVF. In all I think we can all agree the targeting of Soliders and civilians (by both sides) was the main wrong here
the provos wernt fighters, they planted bombs and run away, rarely did they ever face their enemy, their preferred target were unarmed civilians and off duty UDR and RUC personel, by the late 80s early 90s loyalists were armed to the teeth and were preparing for a full scale campaign but the peace process started to kick in and that was that.

If truth be told. Dublin doesn't want to take on the responsibility of the north. It would cost them billions of extra ponds/ euros a year. This is the real truth not the fact the UK wants to keep the north ,its the fact the south doesn't want it . You keep bleeping on about the British taking the land? That's absolutely crap and you know it. Is it that l the British have big houses and tax free living! No, like I said the truth is the south don't want the north...Why the hell would it? The UK is paying for everything. Why would Dublin want to take that on. Stop blaming the British and start looking at the real reason . And I'll say it again the south doesn't want the north. The average Brit would say let them unite! We aren't interested.
Well said Richie Rich, so true
You deny the right of small minorities self determination.
Uk government encouraged, promoted and ultimately wanted the division in Ireland, the ones you are told are bad by the government and media are usually the opposite,
no troll just an old school wop
There's only one Michael Stone!
Nice one Michael
No tarmac turned up
We were never taught Irish history in English schools, which I believe we should have been, we in England don’t fully understand why the troubles in Ireland happened. I know one side wants to be British and the other Irish, but that’s about it.
I hope peace happens in my lifetime, people have just got to except each other’s beliefs,
The other side see themselves as Irish within Britain(essentially they were Scottish immigrants/settlers(depending on your view) that were placed in Ireland by the King. I think I'm right in saying there was an attack on the Protestants resulting in a massacre and then retalitionary attacks on the catholics that started it all.
@@blairrobert3438 i can smell the sectarianism through that comment, u left out the part where protestants where burning catholics out of their homes, beating them, not letting them have jobs and launching violent attacks at them, and that lead to the troubles starting

I would also like to point out that the only men in the whole of the troubles that I believe were truly heroic and maintained their dignity to the end, were Bobby Sands and the other hunger strikers. They did more to terrify Thatcher than any bombs or guns could have. She could fight bombs and guns with British Army bombs and guns, but she was utterly defenceless against the dignity and incredible heroism of Sands and his friends. I've read that she lost sleep over the hunger strikes and was very troubled by them because she knew here was a battle she could never win. If there is peace in NI today it is in very large part thanks to those heroic hunger strikers.
Totally agree
Mountbatten had terrible dandruff. They found his head and shoulders on the beach.

Yes, I wish could be a true hero and smear my own shit over the walls of my room and then refuse to eat. What a real fighter I'd be then.
As an Englishman with Irish great grandparents I find this very hard to watch. They did not deserve this, makes me sick to the stomach to see the fear in these poor peoples faces.

Michael Stone should have been strung up and left to rot
SamSonic93 well done MS let these fenian provo bastards no about it
He's doing rotting in his cell, doing 16 years for his "performance art", after being overpowered by a woman and an OAP at Stormont.
Meanwhile, the Unionist majority at Stormont is no more and idiots like Stone, and yourself, will be the minority here within 5 years. Removing the butchers apron from City Hall was only the start.
Attacking mourners at funerals, how brave! Then again, chasing a teenage girl from a taxi and shooting her dead, a la Billy Hutchinson, makes you a hero in the loyalist world.
SamSonic93 so should the shite he was shooting at.
No surrender to the. Ira
He's doing 16 years. unlike the Ira prisoners who cried to be released, and grassed each other up.
We should have let Northern Ireland get on with it, civil war basically, british army weren't wanted, 3500 odd during troubles dead would have ended up being 10,000 if we hadn't of gone over to assist prior to the Good Friday Agreement 🎉
