PRESIDENT MARY McAleese attended the Royal British Legion remembrance service at St Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin, yesterday. It was one of a series of events held in recent days to remember dead servicemen and women.
A Remembrance Day parade in Bellaghy, Co Derry, was postponed yesterday after the PSNI was warned that a suspect device may have been left in the village.
The local British Legion called off the parade after they consulted police.
The largest of the Remembrance ceremonies across Northern Ireland was in Belfast with Alliance lord mayor Naomi Long leading the commemoration. First Minister Peter Robinson attended the main ceremony in London.
On Saturday, ex-service groups from both sides of the Border gathered in Drogheda, Co Louth, to pay tribute to the war dead at the Cenotaph.
