Date set for inquest into Guildford pub bombings

An inquest into the 1974 Guildford pub bombings will start on June 20.

The hearing concerns the deaths of four soldiers and a civilian after IRA bombs were detonated in two pubs in a terror attack 47 years ago.

Eleven people were found guilty over the atrocity but their convictions were later quashed.

Richard Travers, a senior coroner, agreed in January 2019 that an inquest was necessary following a campaign from the families of victims, survivors and those wrongfully imprisoned to complete the hearings.

The hearing will sit without a jury, a pre-inquest review in January heard.
