Books of Condolences in memory of Bishop Edward Daly have been presented to his family.
Bishop Daly, who was Bishop of Derry from 1974 to 1993, died last month.
Following his death, hundreds of people signed Books of Condolence in the Guildhall.
Derry’s Mayor, Hilary McClintock, presented the books to Bishop Daly’s relatives at the weekend.
They were in Derry for the unveiling of a new memorial to Bishop Daly in the Bogside.
Bishop Daly’s two sisters Anne Gibson and Marion Ferguson were among the group who travelled to the city, where they joined Bishop Daly’s housekeeper Betty Doherty and Fr Eamon Graham, to remember the iconic local church leader and peacemaker.
Mayor McClintock, who opened the Book of Condolence last month, said the number of people who signed the Book was evidence of the special place Bishop Daly held in the hearts of many people from the city and district which had become his adopted home.
“Bishop Daly touched the lives of thousands of people and his kindness, compassion and love for this city and its people will be fondly remembered for many years to come,” she said.
“Bishop Daly’s family were moved by the number of heartfelt messages of sympathy and fond memories expressed by local people across the city and district. I would like to thank everyone who took the time to sign the Books of Condolence, I know his family were delighted to receive them.”
