Last night Lyra McKee was shot dead on the streets of Derry by what the police believe were dissident republicans. This morning we will get political and community reaction to this senseless murder. What is your message to the people who carried out this despicable act? We want to play a powerful interview that Lyra did with Stephen in 2014. We want you to listen to it because it will show you the type of person she was. Strong, passionate about life and an incredible supporter for people who might be struggling with life. Lyra did the interview with Stephen after she had written a letter to her 14-year-old self about coming out as gay. Lyra had been bullied when she was a teenager for being different. She wrote the letter in the hope that other young people would take heart from it. That's the sort of the person Lyra was.
