Great birds eye photo of the GPO and the inner courtyard of the new GPO Witness History.
This photo is courtesy of The Irish Air Corps. It was kindly provided after practising yesterday for The Easter Sunday Fly-By during The Easter Sunday Centenary Events 2016.
The Easter Sunday events begin at 11.30am on March 27th with the reading of the 1916 Proclamation under the GPO portico by a Defence Forces officer. The President will lay a wreath on behalf of the people of Ireland, followed by a minute’s silence for all those who died. The national flag above the GPO will be raised to full mast and the national anthem played. The parade, led by the Defence Forces in full military display, will begin at St Stephen’s Green, pass the GPO and continue to Parnell Square. It will conclude with an Air Corps flypast and a 21-gun salute.
