I'm from a Protestant background and can remember as a child of no more than 5 or 6 being hammered stupid for walking over graves at my local Cemetery. My Granny saw this as very, very disrespectful to the deceased buried below....
Thank you for posting this. I just walked through the cemetery today and your video was of a great help to understand the historical context. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this video and I hope you get to keep all the history like you say it is very important. I have family buried in the cemetery and I would love to be buried there when my time comes
very touching and sad seeing those pauper graves would be good if they had at least one memorials to there lives lovely gilm bless you for showing us all xxx
As a child we lived next to the city cemetery. Always a very special place for Derry people, always so tidy and well looked after. Many of my family members are in derry cemetery. We all know the great loss to so many people in Derry in the 1970s and all the lives lost, so many young people. I remember the hand trees, my brother put the fear of god into me as a kid he said the trees came a live at night and would come to our bedroom window. Thank you for the history, some stuff i did not know.
brilliant, thanks for sharing this information, i really enjoyed that tour, very interesting information, i have actually been to this cemetery, i wished i had known all this history before we went, it would have made our visit so much better....thank again
Thanks for those great comments , please like and share , we now have a not for profit group offering tours. Friends of Derry City Cemetery ....site on FB. We do this voluntary. Restore pride , create jobs and end the anti social behaviour.I live yards away in Creggan.
A very interesting tour of a cemetery my own ancestors rest in. I'd certainly be interested in finding out if you received any funding, not just to support the graves but also for the tours. [not a critique as you both did a fine job] but as a professional trainer of tour guides, I'd be willing to lend my services to offer training on presentation if you wish.
Speaking of the view, my Granny traded her plot two or three times - upgrading for a better view. She'd be up there, checking out her new view - very pleased with herself.

Fantastic video. Thanks for posting. My grandfather is buried here. Unfortunately his grave doesn't have a great view of the Brandywell!
Great video. Very interesting. I didnt know about the unmarked graves
Great channel. Would love to do a few of these tours when over..
All equal in death. Never was a truer word spoken.
Very interesting video. I hope you get the funding that you need to carry on your work. Well done.
During summer I spend whole day in the cemetery til sun sets
A bit sad

My great grandfather died at the somme
Why not visit the grave of singer baltimora jimmy mcshane singer Tarzan boy ?
My granda was in court because solider put bombs in someone’s coat and said that’s why they shot him
Horrible...sad.
Let's hope no more wars.
