Captain Conor Gibbons read the Proclamation of the Republic on the steps of the GPO, where Pádraig Pearse read them 109 years ago. He was joined by Representative Elements from each service and formation, the Cadet School's and Captain's Guards of Honour, Defence Forces' Band and Pipe Band, with bagpiper Corporal Enda McGrath playing a lament and finishing with an Air Corps flyover.

Beards ok in the army?
Always amused me that the Steyr looks so much like a plastic toy gun.
I have to admit I would like the Air Corps to have jets if only so they can do a low pass over the GPO at Easter.
Can’t Higgins stay president forever?
