Hundreds of thousands of people have lined the streets in Dublin to watch | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
the commemorations to mark the centenary of the 1916 | :00:25. | :00:26. | |
The failed rebellion against British rule 100 years ago left | :00:27. | :00:34. | |
almost 500 people dead, and eventually led to the creation | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
Our Ireland Correspondent Chris Buckler is in Dublin. | :00:38. | :00:45. | |
Commemorations are taking place across this country but it is in | :00:46. | :00:52. | |
Dublin where the main ceremonies are being held including here where | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
parades have been passing all morning and a ceremony is being | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
held. Among those in the crowds are family members of those who fought | :01:03. | :01:10. | |
for Irish independence. In 1916 the St was at the centre of conflict. | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
100 years later it has become the focal point for these | :01:17. | :01:24. | |
commemorations, a place to remember the Rising. The Post Office was the | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
military headquarters. A republic and the end of British rule was the | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
cleared. With these words, the proclamation. We proclaim the Irish | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
Republic as a sovereign independent state and we pledge our lives and | :01:41. | :01:47. | |
the lives of our families to its cause. Today people lined the | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
streets of Dublin for a parade that past some of the sites. Honouring | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
those who died during six days when the city was engulfed in chaos. By | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
the time the revolt was defeated much of Dublin was destroyed. Years | :02:03. | :02:12. | |
later, a republic did emerge. In part that was as a result of the | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
execution of some of the Rising's leaders. Their deaths made their | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
masters. We cherish 100 years later the principles and the ideals | :02:26. | :02:35. | |
contained in our proclamation for which they fought. Among those | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
remembering the events of 1916, relatives of those who took part in | :02:40. | :02:49. | |
the Rising. A century since has seen the city change and the birth of an | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
independent nation. Given the deaths of British soldiers and civilians as | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
well as Irish volunteers there are sensitivities in marking this | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
history. Some Unionist politicians decided not to attend today's | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
ceremonies. There is no doubting the importance of 1916 on this island. | :03:13. | :03:13. | |

victims of terror and violence, not just in Europe but across the world, | :06:04. | :06:06. | |

who could offer them some welcome and assistance. | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
In Kent the Archbishop of Canterbury also asked Christians | :06:28. | :06:29. | |

letter published yesterday. Syrian government forces say | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
they have recaptured the ancient desert city of Palmyra | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
from Islamic State fighters, who destroyed many of its historic | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
monuments, provoking A military source said the army | :08:02. | :08:02. | |

city on its outskirts. The colonnades and columns | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
are still standing but no one yet knows how much damage IS has | :08:54. | :08:55. | |
done since it seized control The jihadists taunted | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
