As the search for Andrew Quigley enters a second week, the family of the missing 19-year-old have asked local people to attend a rally taking place in the city this afternoon.
Andrew Quigley.
Andrew, from Fergleen Park in Galliagh, has not been seen since leaving a friend’s birthday party in the early hours of last Saturday morning.
A number of his personal belongings were later found later than morning on the Foyle Bridge.
Since then, his family – along with friends, community groups and hundreds of members of the public – have been searching the banks of the river every day since his disappearance.
And they have asked the people of the city to attend a rally supporting Foyle Search and Rescue and HURT taking place today at 1.00pm at the Peace Bridge calling for funding refusals to both groups to be overturned.
Those attending are asked not to go on to the Peace Bridge but to stand “shoulder to shoulder” along the railings on either side of the river crossing.
Andrew’s uncle Dee said: “I’d like people to stand along both sides of the river, to show their support for these organisations so that something can be done before more of our children are driven to their deaths in our river through despair.”
