An occasion to bring a tear to the Irish

Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh were guest of honour this evening at a reception in Dublin Castle hosted by the President Mary McAleese.

Over 150 dignitaries attended.

Both Queen Elizabeth and President McAleese gave inspiring and thoughtful speeches.

It was poignant to see the First Minister of Northern Ireland and his wife present at the gala event in Dublin Castle.

And it was somewhat sad that former taoishig Liam Cosgrave and Garret FitzGerald were not in attendance. Mr Cosgrave is old and Mr FitzGerald is ill in hospital.
