Eight more funerals
Sixmilecross, Omagh and the surrounding area saw eight more victims laid to rest. Postal services and public transport in Omagh were badly disrupted but no one cared. All they cared about was burying their dead and desperately trying to support the bereaved in any way they could. Clergy and lay people alike from every religion stood in each others places of worship to pray and to weep together.

The flowers
Floral tributes arrived, in their thousands, from around the world. At the end of one message the heartfelt words "We came because we care." The tributes came from throughout Ireland, the UK mainland and from across the world, in addition to those placed by friends and family, at sites in High Street, lower Market Street, and along the length of Strule Bridge on Drumragh Avenue. Candles burned brightly throughout the night at all sites.

Local papers
The two local Omagh papers, published on a Thursday, reflected the entire community's anguish and heartbreak. Both papers carry the names and photographs of those killed on their front page.

Baby Chloe
The first ray of hope arrived with the birth of baby Chloe. Her mother Nicola Emery was injured in the bomb and hospital staff had been anxious for the well being of the baby. Nicola's mother was still being treated at The Royal Victoria hospital in Belfast.
