Irish soldiers who served in First World War honoured in Dublin

More than 40 countries were represented at the service, and officials laid wreaths at the Irish military plot before The Last Post was played and the Irish flag was returned to full mast.

A ceremony has been held at Glasnevin cemetery in Dublin to mark the 101st anniversary of the signing of the Armistice, which ended the First World War.

During the ceremony, five Victoria Cross commemorative plaques were unveiled, dedicated to five soldiers from different ranks who showed extreme bravery during the conflict between 1914 and 1918.
