Mr Cameron said:
No warning had been given to any civilians before the soldiers opened fire
None of the soldiers fired in response to attacks by petrol bombers or stone throwers
Some of those killed or injured were clearly fleeing or going to help those injured or dying
None of the casualties was posing a threat or doing anything that would justify their shooting
Many of the soldiers lied about their actions
The events of Bloody Sunday were not premeditated
Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness, Sinn Fein, was present at the time of the violence and "probably armed with a submachine gun" but did not engage in "any activity that provided any of the soldiers with any justification for opening fire"
The head of the Army, General Sir David Richards, said he fully supported Mr Cameron's apology.
"The report leaves me in no doubt that serious mistakes and failings by officers and soldiers on that terrible day led to the deaths of 13 civilians who did nothing that could have justified their shooting," he said.

They key finding in this report is that all the 13 people killed on Bloody Sunday have been declared innocent.
They were not posing any threat and were shot without justification.
The reason for the deaths, according to Lord Saville, is that the soldiers should not have been ordered into the Bogside by their commander.
When they did so, in most cases they mistakenly believed that they were coming under heavy fire by the IRA.
In some cases, Lord Saville said soldiers fired knowing there was no threat at all. He described soldiers as losing their self control and that there was a serious and widespread loss of discipline.
Lord Saville said that one victim probably had nail bombs but that he was running away when he was shot.
