Impeccably observed

Conor Heneghan

The minute’s silence was observed at the start of the Christmas lighting ceremony this afternoon.

Organisers had announced earlier today that the annual lighting ceremony, which always attracts a large crowd, would be preceded by a minute’s silence in memory of the 129 people who lost their lives in the attacks on Paris on Friday night.

It was a gesture intended to show Dublin’s solidarity with France and the minute’s silence was impeccably observed.
