The People, formerly known as the SundayPeople, is a British "red-top" Sunday-only newspaper, owned by the Trinity Mirror Group.
It is a competitor to The News Of The World, although with a circulation slightly less than one million, The People lags somewhat behind its rival and its sister paper The Sunday Mirror.
Key writers on The People include Eamonn Holmes ("Man Of The People"), Garry Bushell ("Bushell On the Box"), Richard Bacon ("Bacon On Films"), Trisha Harbord ("Holiday Hotspots") and Simon Read ("Money People").
On Sunday January 30, 1972, in an incident since known as Bloody Sunday, 13 Irish Civil Rights protestors were shot by the British Parachute Regiment after a Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association march in the Bogside area of the city of Derry, Northern Ireland.
Bloody Sunday remains among the most significant events in the recent troubles of Northern Ireland, arguably because it was carried out by the army and not paramilitaries.
Evidence given by Martin McGuiness, the deputy leader of Sinn Féin, to the inquiry stated that he was second-in-command of the Derry branch of the Provisional IRA and was present at the march.
