1916 Rising commemoration held at Dublin's GPO

A ceremony has been held outside the GPO on O'Connell Street in Dublin to commemorate the 1916 Rising.

The ceremony was led by President Michael D Higgins and Taoiseach Micheál Martin.

Defence Forces personnel, including a brass band, a pipe band and representatives of the Army, the Air Corps and the Naval Service, took part in the ceremony.

The Irish flag atop the GPO was lowered to half mast during the ceremony, before a lament was performed by Private Vincent Murray of the 27th Infantry Battalion.
