I cried for my son at remembrance concert

I TOTALLY disagree with the views of Manus O’Riordan (Letters, November 13) on the recent remembrance concert at Cork City Hall.

I attended the event and I believe it went way beyond simply honouring the Irish who perished in the First World War.

Tears were brought to my eyes as poetry was read — poetry that had an anti-war sentiment to it. Anti any war — not just the Great War.
