A memorial service has been held in Birmingham to remember the victims of the IRA pub bombings 30 years ago.
Hundreds of people joined survivors at Anglican St Philip's Cathedral in the city to mark the anniversary.
Speaking at the service, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Birmingham, Vincent Nichols, urged those present not to repeat the mistakes of what he called the bitter past.
He said it was wrong to include all Muslims in a sweeping condemnation of Islamic terrorism.
Two bombs ripped through two city centre pubs on 21 November 1974.
Six men, who became known as the Birmingham Six, were arrested shortly after the two explosions and convicted at Lancaster Castle.
They were imprisoned and released after 16 years when it emerged that forensic evidence used in their trial was flawed.
Survivors of the bombs, in which 21 people died and 200 were injured, have called on the IRA to apologise.
The Northern Secretary, Paul Murphy, said it was important to establish a society free from the threat of atrocities.
