Briege Voyle is the daughter of Joan Connolly, who, with nine other people, were shot dead by the British Army in Ballymurphy Northern Ireland in August 1971.

Music journalist Sarah Carson & journalist Owen Myers tell us what makes her so special and how she's become a gay icon.

In a new series, journalist Sali Hughes talks to women about objects in their lives that are important to them. Today it's the turn of Margaret Cabourn-Smith.
