A vigil has been held in Buncrana one week on from the drowning

accident that claimed the lives of five people.

It was attended by Louise James who lost her partner, two sons,

mother and sister when the family car slipped into the

BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson reports.

Close to the pier where the tragedy occurred, they gathered.

I welcome you as members of this community.

I welcome you from different communities.

People came from both sides of the border,

also there were those who tried to help last week

Louise James lost her partner, two sons, her mother and sister.

She spoke briefly at last night's service.

She said she was grateful for the help she has received.

She has exhibited tremendous strength and dignity over the past

week, especially at home during the wake and at the funeral

For somebody who is naturally shy, it is not an easy

thing to do but she feels the need to thank people for their kindness

She brought her four-month-old daughter to the service, too.

The little baby was the only survivor of

the tragedy which occurred here last week.

It's estimated over a 100,000 people have taken part

in street events in Dublin today to mark the centenary of the Easter

Our correspondent Shane Harrison has more.

Today, the People's daily. O'Connell Street with the GPO belong to them

after the formal commemoration of the Easter rising yesterday. Free

concert in different musical traditions. And by different artists

including Sharon from Clare, much to the delight of the audience.

On the street people in period costumes, including a very young

Michael Collins. We dressed up to celebrate 1916. We

are a group of people who just love the fun and having a great time. We

are celebrating our nationhood, being Irish, being different. So why

not. Many people from north of the border travelled south for the

event. It was emotional, I listen to the radio on the way down this

morning, Irish music but when you get here, it is special. We have

been waiting a long time for this. I'm really glad to be here and be

part of it. It is a fabulous weekend. We have been down since

Friday and had a ball since we came. And enjoyed the celebrations

yesterday, amazing. Today is even better because it is more relaxed.

In different parts of the city, different events all largely

organised by the Irish national broadcaster RTL. A giant street

party took place. And a display of vintage trains and cars. It also

attracted big and appreciative crowds. A family fun day out that

was inclusive and struck the right note.

The Northern Ireland football team made history tonight as they went

ten games unbeaten for the first time.

They defeated Slovenia one-nil tonight in a friendly at Windsor

A first home International of 2016 for Northern Ireland and the might

of history in south Belfast. Northern Ireland now ten games

unbeaten. Michael O'Neil as manager eclipses the run of leaving and it

came down to, Washington. He had a dream home International debut.

Scoring the only goal on the night and showing a lot of strength to do

so. That gold would prove the difference but also Northern Ireland

have their goalkeeper Roy Carroll to thank. Jonny Evans was blown for

filing through the second half, penalty awarded. Roy Carroll

produced a world-class save. And Northern Ireland manager Michael

O'Neil is of a watched Germany tomorrow. Right now the feeling here

is that anything is possible for Northern Ireland. They might just

unpick the world champions in the Euros. That is 11 weeks away.

The weather forecast is next with Barra Best.

It is telling A to B another chilly night. Temperatures likely to fall

close to freezing, even below in some spots allowing for some frost

first thing tomorrow morning. Otherwise Tuesday is a cloudy day, a

few showers later on in the day. To begin with we expect a largely dry

start. Quite grey however. Some coastal areas may get some sunshine

first thing but the crowd remained stubborn to break up at first.

Across the UK and Ireland, not a bad start with some showers and decent

amounts of sunshine as well. Through the day will weather system ringing

rain across the south coast of Ireland, and into Wales, the

south-west of England. That moves east through the course of the day.

Ahead of that sunshine allowing temperatures to get up to around 13

degrees towards the south-east. North and extend scattered showers

and sunshine put up a similar picture across Ireland through the

afternoon. So a few showers out there to dodge and also the odd

sunny spell. The wind light and at best around eight 9 degrees. In any

areas away from the wind with more sunshine, we could see 10 degrees.

Another chilly night overnight into Wednesday, shaping up to be dry to

begin with both up through the day the cloud thickens and we expect

some wet weather. Thursday shaping up to be the best day of the week

with some sunshine. By Friday Moray Low pressure bringing stronger wind

and more rain. Our next BBC Newsline

is at 6.25 in the morning Maybe you could show me

the club scene up here.
