On 21 November 1974, 21 people were killed and 220 injured when bombs exploded in two Birmingham pubs, in an attack widely believed to have been orchestrated by the Provisional IRA.
The six men who were convicted of the bombings, in one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in British history, had their convictions quashed at the court of appeal in 1991. No one has been convicted since.
The families of those killed are fighting for a statutory public inquiry to find out why no one has been brought to justice and say that, as time goes on, people are dying without getting answers about what happened to their loved ones.
