The controversial legislation became law after it passed a final vote in Westminster.

Families of those killed during the Troubles say the passing of the British Government's legacy bill marks "a dark day for justice." Despite widespread opposition - it's cleared the UK House of Commons and is now on the verge of becoming law.

The bill will effectively end prosecutions linked to past violence - and stop new cases and inquests being opened. David Temple's 16-year-old brother was killed in the Claudy bombings in Derry more than 50 years ago.

He says he deserves answers, "It's been a very stressful 51 years waiting for justice. To leave this earth without justice is not good," Mr Temple explained.
