Sinn Féin’s Michelle O’Neill to Make History at Remembrance Sunday Ceremony

Michelle O’Neill, the First Minister of Northern Ireland, will break with tradition by becoming the first senior Sinn Féin official to participate in the official Remembrance Sunday ceremony in Belfast. Scheduled to lay a laurel wreath at the Cenotaph, O’Neill’s attendance marks a significant shift in the party’s approach to commemorating the day. The ceremony is set for 11:00 GMT, with other dignitaries, including Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn, participating in various locations. This year’s event underscores a growing inclusivity in remembrance activities across the region.
