In the year which marks the centenary of World War 1, men, women and children packed the grounds of Belfast’s City Hall to take their part in the city’s Remembrance Sunday commemorations. Amongst those gathered at the Cenotaph to honour the nation’s fallen were members of the Army Reserve, Cadets and their Adult Instructors from across County Down Pictured are Ballynahinch brothers David (17) and Samuel (15) Abraham, on duty with the Campbell College Combined Cadet Force, pause for a moment’s reflection prior to the solemn ceremony Remembrance Sunday was originally conceived as a commemoration of the war dead of the First World War but, following World War II, the scope of the ceremony was extended to focus on the nation’s dead of both World Wars, and, in 1980, it was widened further in remembrance to all who have suffered and died in conflict in the service of their country and those who mourn them.
