The Irish flag and the Union Jack side by side at a remembrance ceremony in Derry for the first time.
The national flag of Ireland and the British Union Jack flew side by side at a service of remembrance in Derry for Irishmen who were killed in the First World War while serving with the British Army.
The ceremony, which took place at the war memorial in the city, represent a significant sign of the changing times in Northern Ireland.
The tricolour and the Union Jack flying side by side and no one objecting.
The event was a cross-border and cross-community exercise in reconciliation.
David Ervine, MLA with the Progressive Unionist Party, is encouraged by the display of the flags side by side and hopes that some healing can occur through remembrance. Former serviceman PJ Hallinan says he is honoured to take part in the event.
