Stormont First Minister Michelle O'Neill has reacted to the placing of a banner on her constituency office labelling her a traitor.
It follows her decision to attend Belfast's annual Remembrance Sunday event at which she laid a laurel wreath.
It's the first time a senior Sinn Féin politician has attended the ceremony.
At the weekend a banner with the word 'traitors' - containing a poppy symbol and bearing red handprints - was erected on the shutters of her constituency office in Cookstown.
This morning Michelle O'Neill said people were entitled to their opinion but that she would not be distracted from her promise to be a "First Minister for all".
"People are entitled to express their view and I can accept where they are coming from, but I also have a role to play in terms of driving us forward."
On Friday more than a hundred republican families in Co Tyrone signed an open letter in the Irish News criticising her decision to attend the Remembrance event.
Among them were relatives of dead IRA men shot by soldiers during the Troubles.
Ms O'Neill said she knew many of the families who signed the letter personally and acknowledged that it was "difficult".
But she said it would not divert her from continuing.
"I want to drive our society forward. I want to build a shared future. I want to take as many people with us on the journey as I possibly can.
"I committed to be a first minister for all and I will live up to that.
At Stormont this morning, MLAs attended a Remembrance Day event at which wreaths were laid.
Ms O'Neill did not attend.
She said she had a prior engagement but that the party would be represented by the chief whip.
