00:00It's been hugely moving to be with families who've campaigned for 36 years for justice, not just for their loved ones, but for anybody else in the years ahead, facing the injustice or the indignity of losing a loved one and trying to hold the state to account.

00:50that anyone facing an inquest where the state is in the dock, as it were, can have legal aid and support to fight for their loved one and for justice.
