Derry (/ˈdɛrɪ/), officially Londonderry (/ˈlʌndənˌdɛrɪ/), is the second-largest city in Northern Ireland and the fourth-largest city on the island of Ireland. The name Derry is an anglicisation of the Irish name Daire or Doire meaning "oak grove". In 1613, the city was granted a Royal Charter by King James I and gained the "London" prefix to reflect the funding of its construction by the London guilds. While the city is more usually known colloquially as Derry, Londonderry is also commonly used and remains the legal name.
The old walled city lies on the west bank of the River Foyle, which is spanned by two road bridges and one footbridge. The city now covers both banks (Cityside on the west and Waterside on the east). The city district also extends to rural areas to the southeast. The population of the city proper (the area defined by its 17th century charter) was 83,652 in the 2001 Census, while the Derry Urban Area had a population of 90,736. The district is administered by Derry City & Strabane District Council and contains both Londonderry Port and City of Derry Airport.
Northern Ireland's second largest city saw conflict in the 1970s. But Derry or Londonderry as it is also known, has had a huge facelift in the last few years with a lot of rebuilding. These improvements have been recognised and it has now been named Britain's first City of Culture for 2013. More Euromaxx: http://www.dw.de/program/euromaxx/s-7555-9798

Beautiful Nothern Irish anthem "Londonderry Aire", also known as "Danny Boy". Performed with Celtic harp and tin whistle. The song has been interpreted by some listeners as a message from a parent to a son going off to war or leaving as part of the Irish diaspora. Some interpret it differently,[who?] such a dying father speaking to his leaving Danny. The phrase, "the pipes, the pipes are calling", in this interpretation, could refer to the traditional funeral instrument. The song is widely considered an Irish anthem. "Danny Boy" is considered by many Irish Americans and Irish Canadians to be their unofficial signature song.
Natural Sound Chaos reigned in Northern Ireland's second-largest city of Londonderry on Saturday night, with Catholics and police involved in pitched street battles. At least 2-thousand Catholics hurled rocks, bricks and petrol bombs at police overnight, while police retaliated with volleys of plastic bullets. Catholics used vans and cars to set up barricades in the streets of Londonderry before they began pelting police with petrol bombs. The police and British Army used armoured vehicles for protection. At one point, police came out from behind their lines to beat a man with their batons. Police also retaliated with volleys of plastic bullets. The Irish government was scathing in its criticism of the British response to Protestant rioting, straining relations between t...

You’re in for a most curious journey when you visit Mussenden Temple. Perched on the cliffs of northwestern Ireland, this striking circular building was originally constructed as a library for the Bishop of Derry. Following a tour of Mussenden Temple, you might think its classical style is slightly out of place amidst Ireland’s largely medieval architecture—and you would be right. Mussenden Temple sightseeing reveals a building inspired by the Temple of Vesta in Italy. It is said that in 1777, the Bishop of Derry tried to purchase the Temple of Vesta and have it transported to Ireland, but his efforts were rebuffed. As a result, he built Mussenden Temple, which now stands watch over the cliffs and the roiling blue sea below. What did you like most about Mussenden Temple? Visit our Mu...

A wholly accurate documentary about Irelands most Northerly city. Would I lie?
"Derry will be the #1 tourist destination in Ireland", says historian and retired bank manager, John McNulty. McNulty, a dedicated Martin McCrossan Walking Tour guide, had just completed our walking tour of the walls of the only remaining completely walled city in Ireland. I was interested to note that many on the tour were Irish residents. The tour included a coffee which, by chance, lead me to the editor of the Derry Journal and executive directo of the local theatre. Meeting people in Northern Ireland is no problem!
