Gerard Conlon and three others released on appeal

Gerard (Gerry) Conlon and three others (Paul Hill, Patrick Armstrong and Carole Richardson), known as the Guildford Four, released on appeal after 15 years in prison. Conlon can be seen here leaving court with two female relatives. The Guildford Four were convicted in 1975 for bombing pubs in Guildford, Surrey, on behalf of the IRA, but serious flaws were found in the police investigation. The case is considered to be the greatest miscarriage of justice in British history
