Derry , always was and always will be. 🏴🇮🇪🏴🇮🇪🇪🇺🇪🇺👍
100% just listen the wording in the sash
It's called Derry
Only word where first 6 letters are silent
Love it 😊😊
Derry.
One name Derry
Londonderry is the only city in the world with 6 silent letters.
It is not named after London the city but after The City of London corporation. Nowadays known as the crown corporation, nothing to do with the UK but a State in its own right.
In English Derry, in Irish Doire, so only has one name.
An Doire
This city has one name...
REGARDLESS WHAT WORDZ ARE WRITTEN ON ANY SIGNS!!!!!
DONE!
3 Doire Columbcille!
Lekker filmpje weer, ga zo door No!
I call it Derry.
1:23 dry left of mouth. You didn't introduce The Diamond, before the safety of the Walls..?
The west side of the city has loyalists who are ironically closest to the Border with County Donegal, the republic of Ireland.
The West Side is like 95% Catholic, the east side is more protestant
@@nunyabizness690 I stand corrected
The westbank has around 780 loyalists, compared to 53400 catholics..
@@nunyabizness690 the east bank is mostly catholic these days
One day it will enter the 19th century.
They'll have to enter the 18th first.
Train sign says derry~londonderry so I think that's it
Derry 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
I went on a walk of the walls with a guide about ten years ago. I'm surprised you missed out the Apprentice boys history. There was a cafe near the railway station whose hot pot/stew was up there with my mum's.
It's Derry 👍👍
very very well done
Thank you
DERRY
LONDONDERRY
The Equality Commission rejected a name change on the ground that lots of places have different names. This was blatantly dishonest as the places cited have different names in different languages. The problem here is that the city has 2 names in the same language.
No, the city only has one name but some people choose not to use it.
Leaving aside the politics, I think places should be called by what most of the locals want it to be called.
@@emmetoconnor5105 You know that's not the way it works or many cities would be called "shithole", "arse end of nowhere" and the like. Leaving aside the politics, no need to change a city's name because locals have a 'pet' name else Carrickfergus would be renamed Carrick long time ago.
A facetious response. Or faecetious? That's how it works in democracies. If the burghers of Carrickfergus want to change the name to Carrick or Londoncarrick they should and would be free to do it. An obvious compromise for Derry would be to change the name and leave the walled city as Londonderry, which would be somewhat analagous to the City of London and greater London.
@@emmetoconnor5105 No, that is not how it works and you know that fine well. By far the simplest solution is to leave the name as is and people just understand that they have always been free to shorten Londonderry to Derry or not without upsetting anyone. But trying to change the name does upset many.
You should go to South-Tyrol in Italy where every town has two names. There are a lot of parallels between Northern Ireland's and South-Tyrol's histories, with largely different outcomes though.
Good idea!
It's Derry.
Yes it is. Always and forever.
I have been to Londonderry Derry it's a beautiful city beautiful people from David trevena
pity You never said that first Name to Folk there and got the beating of Your Life, You'd soon Learn.

The name was changed to Londonderry when the old town of Derry was developed into a city by a group of London merchants around 1610. In the not so distant past Derry or Londonderry was used interchangeably by all, Derry was simply a convenient shortening of Londonderry in much the same way as Carrickfergus is often shortened to Carrick. But now nationalists have politized the name and you are deemed a 'planter' if you say Londonderry and a 'fenian' if you say Derry. They have even started referring to county Londonderry, which has never had any other name, as county Derry pointlessly creating something more to disagree about.
Think it was politicised when the Brits took it over. Imagine that
It's so sad how sometimes you go on RUclips videos and you see strange backwards people trying to rewrite history. Anyone doing a Google search to see that it was originally called Doire in Irish which was translated to Derry In English. The (official according to the British government) name change of the city from Doire or Derry to Londonderry happened at the same time in 1613. People called it Derry because that's what it had been called. It was not a shortening in any way and you know that, and it's so sad that you would go to the bother of trying to give an inaccurate depiction of history just to make yourself feel better. The majority of people just call it Derry, because most people don't randomly bend over for English people.
@@C17NRYL3D Wow, what a big chip you have on that wee shoulder. Go lie down for a bit.
@@C17NRYL3DSeem like you are one of those sad people trying to rewrite history. The official name of the city is Londonderry and has been since the start of the 17th century. What is your sad explanation for nationalists calling county Londonderry county Derry since that county has been called Londonderry since creation, never been called anything else.
@Razor Mouth☘️ They let you out every Sunday?
Facts don’t care about your feelings.
Londonderry is the name.
Derry is the feelings of nationalists.
It's derry
The city was built by the English. The natives were living in mud huts at that stage.
still calling it derry
So why don’t they call it Doire then?
Derry, no such thing as London derry.
Lol cope
It's Londonderry pal, Derry is a town in Galway.
