Aiden Holly fell 30 metres to his death from the Pamplona city walls. He was in the city for the famous San Fermines celebrations.

It has been confirmed that a man who fell 30 metres to his death from the ancient city walls in Pamplona on Sunday was Irish.
23 year old Aidan Holly, had just completed his army training, and was from the small village of Tarbert in North Kerry, and was in the Navarra town for the famous San Fermines festivities which got underway at the weekend.
It’s reported that his body lay dead for some hours before being found.

In the first bullrun yesterday, eight runners were slightly injured, including a 20 year old from California who suffered head injuries and a 21 year old Briton who suffered a blow to his nose.

This morning’s run featured the legendary dangerous bulls from the Cebada Gago stud, but for once the run was a clean one and faster than yesterday, despite three of the bulls being separated in the final stages. There are no reports of any gorings.
