Good evening and welcome to BBC Newsline. | :00:16. | :00:17. | |
Official events to mark the centenary of the Easter Rising | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
began in Dublin today with a wreath-laying ceremony | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
The Irish President has appealed to people in Northern Ireland | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
to approach this weekend's events with a spirit of generosity. | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
It was a state occasion involving the president the military, | :00:34. | :00:48. | |
politicians and the public. All gathered in Dublin's Garden of | :00:49. | :00:54. | |
Remembrance. We are gathered here today to remember and acknowledge | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
all those who gave their lives in the cause of Irish freedom. | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
Particularly those who died during the 1916 Easter Rising. The Irish | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
president Michael Higgins led the tributes. It was here that the Queen | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
laid a wreath nine years ago. The Irish authorities hope that this | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
weekend's events don't hinder cross-border relations. I hope that | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
people in Northern Ireland will approach these commemorations... And | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
for example, as we commemorate other events, that we do so generously. | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
This was a solemn service of remembrance. But on the nearby | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
streets of Dublin there was more of a sense of celebration amidst the | :01:43. | :01:49. | |
commemoration. The mood is good, everyone is happy. And it is going | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
to be a fabulous day tomorrow. There will be no trouble because everyone | :01:56. | :02:02. | |
is in a good mood. My grandfather was in the front, my grandfather was | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
there. The focus now moves to the main parade of the commemoration | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
outside the GPL tomorrow. More than 4000 people are expected on the | :02:17. | :02:17. | |
