The military parade was the largest ever staged in the Republic, | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
as our Dublin correspondent Shane Harrison reports. | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
Simple, stirring, sombre and solemn - | :00:22. | :00:24. | |

Thousands of people have lined the streets of West Belfast | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
for a parade to mark the centenary of the Rising. | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
The parade, with many wearing period costumes, | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
began at Divis Tower, before it made its way | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
to the republican plot at Milltown Cemetery. | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
Sinn Fein President Gerry Adams told the gathering, the peace process | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
and the Good Friday agreement had marked a historic shift in politics. | :02:42. | :02:47. | |

Attending the event, UUP leader Mike Nesbitt said | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
unionists must not ignore the Easter Rising centenary. | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
It is important that we do not stick our fingers in our ears | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
and pretend these things never happen and will go away. | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
They happened and impact on us today and we have to face up to it. | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
There are different narratives depending on your historical | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
perspective and that is the way history is. | :03:59. | :04:03. | |
Let us not deny anybody else their perspective. | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
Let us have respect in the way we promote our own. | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
