On July 1st every year, for over four decades now, people have joined together for a unique ceremony to remember the events of that fateful Saturday in 1916. In this exceptional year, being unable to have our usual gathering, we have prepared a short film which encapsulates the Foundation’s commitment to Remembrance, Peace and Reconciliation. It will be available to view here from 0728hrs BST on Wednesday July 1st.
Remembrance Ceremony – 1st July 2020
Peace and Reconciliation
We remember all the men and women who were denied their future, never achieving their potential, with their hopes and dreams unrealised.
Commemorate
There are two annual remembrance ceremonies, in July and November. We always seek to involve the local community as well as welcoming visitors from around the world.
