Twenty-one people died in The Mulberry Bush and The Tavern in the Town bombings in 1974 .

A vague IRA warning gave inadequate time to evacuate the pubs.

Robyn Tighe , who was just 19 when she was caught up in the blasts, said: "I'm a survivor with scars" Memorial services are being held on Thursday to mark the anniversary of the bombings.
