On the 26 August 1978 Gary Cass and Jaqueline Johnson got married at Jacqui's home church in Trim, the Republic of Ireland. Gary was a serving British Army officer in the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers.
As the couple were leaving the church three armed terrorists attempted to murder the groom, shooting him three times while still in the churchyard.
This film is his recollection of that day and the shooting.
