Minister and Lord Mayor attend Rememberance Day service

Dignitaries - including the Arts and Heritage Minister, Dublin's Lord Mayor and the British and American Ambassadors - are attending a Remembrance Day service in the capital this morning.

Up to 50,000 Irish men died in the First World War, which broke out 100 years ago this year.

Minister Heather Humphreys says it is her priority to make Remembrance commemorations as "inclusive" as possible, and allow members of Nationalist and Unionist communities to come together.

The Minister will later lay a wreath at the Cross of Sacrifice in Glasnevin Cemetery, and attend the opening of the Great War Exhibition at the cemetery's museum.
