Belfast's Sinn Fein Lord Mayor today (Wednesday) attended the Armistice Day two-minute silence at the cenotaph in the grounds of the City Hall.

Cllr. Arder Carson said: "I think as both Lord Mayor and also as a Sinn Fein councillor I wanted to show respect and remembrance for all those across this island who died as a result of the First World War.

"This is about respect, dignity and inclusiveness. The fact that the event was demilitarised makes it much, much easier for people from across the city to attend."

Cllr Guy Spence, the DUP Deputy Lord Mayor, said: "It think it is fantastic that all sections of the community can come together.

"We still have a bit to go yet but fingers crossed that if we keep working together we can achieve that."
