- Wreath Laying in the Garden of Remembrance. www.rte.ie/newsnow. Watch LIVE coverage on RTÉ News Now.
It was day that many people thought would never happen.
It was a moment that history was made. Queen Elizabeth II laid a wreath to honour those who fell in battle fighting for Irish freedom.
Great moment. The past is done, it can't be changed. What we can change is the future and I think most will agree, we don't want a future based on hatred.
tell that to the relatives of the disappeared
Fair play to her!! I'm Irish and I've got nothing against the Queen, she wasn't the person who led the UK to capturing our country, she just so happened to be part of the monarchy.
Respect from all, to all, well done Her Majesty and Ireland!
You are talking about Northern Ireland? It's all down to democracy now-- if more than 50% of the population wants to join the Republic, they can
She was brilliant, this can only bring the UK and Eire closer together.
What a moment in this countries history and Mr Cowen and Mr Ahern both gave very fitting tributes :) .......nice to see them there :D
I love the Queen to have came to Ireland
That history is not entirely accurate. Nonetheless, this was a lovely gesture. Why would anyone want to go back to the suffering & death & hopelessness. Everyone is better off with peace, especially the children. God Save The Queen & God bless the people of Ireland. May Peace forever reign. May the fallen heroes rest in peace.
I agree with you. I hate when people who have nothing to do with it, or fully understand the situation say 'just give it back'.
@puzz09 Subjective indignation might be understandable, but that's not how things are done! What about the african states? During the Empire, the Irish were also involved and an enormous number of Irish were slave traders within the colonial system (William Ronan, Antoine Walsh,Felix Doran, Christopher Butler, Thomas Ryan, James McGauley, David Tuohy, Philip Nagle, among many, many others)! Should the african countries never play the Irish Anthem, because of what happened in times past?
people its time to let go
"We will not blame him for the crimes of his ancestors if he relinquishes the royal rights of his ancestors; but as long as he claims their rights, by virtue of descent, he must shoulder the responsibility for their crimes."
- James Connolly on British King
I LOVE THE QUEEN
@RonainMacCathain I think I read somewhere that the whole route was cordoned off for security reasons which is why its so quiet. :)
@JDoubIeU because she is the Queen who was coronated as such - titles apply to many people in important positions and give a somewhat properness to such position: notable examples are the title of his holiness the pope, archbishops etc. much more respectful I think than Christian names - hope this helps you understand
Overrated Dragoon wrote Northern Ireland "should be given back" - HM isn't some mediaeval despot, she cannot simply "give back" NI.
The decision to join the RoI, should it ever be taken, will have had to have come from the people of Northern Ireland.
ROI can't afford the dole bill for NI. Doesn't matter how they vote.
Love the queen for this+im irish!
Rainha Elizabeth II estou contando com seu grau de consciência e sabedoria diante do mundo que lhe apresenta, temos uma Entidade Humana em risco um Rei Coroado, O Cristo Rei, que não está consiguindo realizar sua missão na Terra, o tragar a morte, sua Mãe, A Virgem Maria, foi coroada e aclamada, pela mídia de Fortaleza Estado do Ceará, Maria Rainha Coroada e dia 24.11.2012, o seu filho, Jesus Cristo será Entronizado, pela Paróquia Cristo Rei em Nome do Padre Jesuíta Inácio Loyola. Precisamos ...
Who the hell do you think you are commenting on a British/Irish issue? You're nationality say's you are Swedish!
Even if you are Irish, you have to understand that it isn't as simple as 'giving N. Ireland to the Rep.', there were troubles for over 30 years because of this issue!
Hapless Biffo, and the second-hand car salesman
I would like to see Obama visit Every Reservation. THere are 100 Irelands on this continent.
Pity the corrupt cowen and ahern were asked to comment.
@pidgeblev i think they did, he said that they were playing the national anthem...isn't that GSTQ?
@JDoubIeU for the same reason she calls McAleese the President. its just a style, in the sense we call TDs a 'Deputy' and so on. it doesn't have to mean anything
@RonainMacCathain Why would you say that? you've clearly got your head in the past, yes the British did terrible things thats a known fact, not just ireland country to others, however, so did Ireland, No country is perfect. Why make steps backwards when you can make steps forward to improve relations. After all holding a grudge doesn't get you anywhere.
nah its respect towards the queen, lads the past is our history let this be our future
Just for the record, lets mention Sean McCann - with all the people that got a mention - and they left out poor Seán.
@menacinghat I think you will find it was normans who brought the tech my friend.
God Save the Queen!
That other woman stood in front of the Queen... the Queen spent half the time staring at her back... how come no one picked up on that error?
Oh the irony-the queen visits a country that has some of her most passionate support, yet the streets have been especially laid bare of all people. Something very twisted about that...
It was - 0:33
@TheWhiterose1603 Very well said. God bless you
the only thing i didin't like was the playing of the british national anthem in the garden of rememberence. sorry i can't spell
It was played, it is in the video
ehhhh....did Bertie bow?!
in my oppinion u are an Freestater!!
respect the irish innocent who been murdered trough all the times when ireland was under brittish rule[still is!!], shame of those so called freestaters and the real irish volunteers gave their lives for irish freedom!!!
Irish accent sounds so american. Maybe us accent comes from there
American accent does come from the irish accent especially the Deep South ones
I KNEW IT!
***** That is so awesome! :) I'm always glad to hear when people from other countries take an interest in Ireland because it's such a tiny country :P
I'm very into other languages and cultures too. I'm fluent in French and currently studying Spanish and I really want to visit every country in South America because they're all fascinating. I'd like to study Japanese too.
You really seem to know a lot about Ireland! Have you been here a lot?
I've studied a little bit of french and strong english. This recent year I got my Cambridge FCE diploma and my italian passport (Im half italian, like most argentinians) so both good excuses to visit europe.
To answer your questn No, I've never been there. I've done research though.. - Anyway, I hope some day could visit all the places I'm willing to, Ireland included.
Not as assured a bow as the one at Islandbridge
It's been argued that the wreath laying was also for Provisional IRA men.. Think about that one RTE...
Sweeet.
it was fine until they played God save the queen :/
Ha Ha, God save the Queen played in Ireland, this must be a real punch in the stomach for republicans, Love it :)
god save the queen what a disgrace
I was going to watch this video and read the two top rated comments and almost went into tears. So I refuse to watch the rest. She had no right to go down to theyre graves in the first place never mind having them sing God save the queen not to mention the cost of it with edjits like Enda, Mary and the rest in charge and allowing this no wonder the country is in shit!
The streets cleared of citizens to make way for a foreign medieval throwback.
The Queen finally surrenders.
Sure she showed that she ain't stupid all thru. But N.Ireland should still be given back to Ireland.
1776 declaration of independence
No it wont be no one cares
I was expecting something funny to happen
