Commemorations to mark the 25th anniversary of the IRA hunger strikes are continuing across Northern Ireland today.

Family and friends of the ten men who died in the Maze Prison will lay a wreath in the grounds of Roddy McCorley's Social Club in west Belfast.

Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams is also expected to pay tribute in Belfast later today.

Yesterday events were held on both sides of the border to remember Bobby Sands who died after 66 days without food.
