Today is another of those days in which the past makes itself felt in the present.
It is a day which serves as a reminder that while the Troubles officially ended 23 years ago, historical events are still being fought out in courtrooms.
The Ballymurphy families battled long and hard for this moment.
The new inquest was granted back in 2011, ordered by the attorney general, who was presented with a fresh dossier of evidence.
Other cases wait in the wings to start or finish.
Scores of others legacy inquests will run over the next five years, many dealing with state actions from the 1970s and 1980s.

Police officers who killed four people at the outset of the Troubles were never held to account for their actions due to investigative failings, a report has found.
The victims included a nine-year-old boy, Patrick Rooney.
The police ombudsman also stated the use of machine guns by officers to deal with rioting in Belfast in 1969 was disproportionate and dangerous .
No former officers can be prosecuted due to a lack of evidence.
The ombudsman, Marie Anderson, has published a 128-page report covering the deaths of four people during severe rioting in the city on 14 and 15 August 1969.
