VIDEO: This is the perfect montage of Dublin’s 1916 centenary celebrations

Through work, location or just life, many of Ireland’s sons and daughters will have missed today’s 1916 centenary commemorations.

Thankfully, UTV Ireland have put together a highlight reel of the events.

It includes President Michael D Higgins’ visit to the Stonebreakers Yard in Kilmainham Gaol, where many of the leaders of the Rising were executed in the Spring of 1916.

It also features a spectacular flypast O’Connell Street from the Irish Air Corps.

It’s definitely worth a view.
