British police charged an Irish man on Wednesday over a 1982 bombing that killed four soldiers on horseback in the heart of London, one of the most high-profile attacks by IRA guerrillas trying to end British rule in Northern Ireland.
John Downey, 61, from County Donegal in Ireland, is accused of murdering four members of the mounted Royal Household Cavalry who were killed when a car bomb exploded in Hyde Park as they paraded towards Buckingham Palace, Queen Elizabeth's residence.
Another 23 soldiers from the Household Cavalry, the monarch's official bodyguard, which carries out ceremonial duties on state occasions, were wounded by shrapnel.
The soldiers, dressed in their ceremonial uniforms with gleaming plumed helmets, had been due to carry out the "Changing of the Guard", which hundreds of tourists throng outside the palace every day to see.
