ON THIS DAY | 24 | 1974: Six charged over Birmingham pub bombs

The so-called Birmingham Six were found guilty in August 1975 of carrying out the bombings and sentenced to life imprisonment.
But they were released after 16 years in jail when their convictions were quashed by the Court of Appeal in May 1991.
The real bombers have never been prosecuted and no group has ever admitted planting devices.
