Reactions from the streets of Derry to the arrival of British troops.

Reporter Seán Duignan is told that the RUC is no longer trusted in the Bogside but that British troops will be given a chance.

A woman praises Jack Lynch's broadcast and says that he has done more in one hour to help the people of Derry than anyone. She describes him as "gentleman".

A man addressing a crowd calls on the residents of the Bogside to act responsibly and announces the arrival of the soldiers. As he addresses the crowd, a building burns in the background.
