Raymond McCartney
Peter Taylor has spent over five decades reporting on the conflict in Ireland, documenting the people, the politics, and the long path to peace.
His acclaimed trilogy - Provos, Loyalists and Brits - is widely seen as a definitive account of the conflict from all sides. His reporting for ITV’s This Week, Panorama and other BBC programmes brought deeper understanding to many of the key events in our recent history.
Mr Taylor's connection to Derry goes back over 50 years. He first visited the city on the night of Bloody Sunday in January 1972 and became a frequent visitor in the decades that followed, developing close relationships with figures such as Martin McGuinness and Brendan Duddy.
