Russian speaking expats come out in force for WW2 commemoration

The eighth annual commemoration to veterans and victims of World War 2, organised by the Russian School in Cork, took place in Cork yesterday. 

Members of the Russian community and friends gathered at the Marina, Cork for a performance of songs by children from the Russian school. Members of the party then travelled by car, with a Garda escort, to Fitzgerald’s Park, Cork where flowers were dropped into the River Lee from The Shakey Bridge in memory of those who fought against Nazi fascism in World War 2.

Videographer Larry Cummins was on hand to capture some sights and sounds.
