Northern Ireland's First Minister Michelle O'Neill is to become the first senior Sinn Féin figure to take part in an official Remembrance Sunday ceremony in Belfast. Several Sinn Féin politicians have laid wreaths at the Cenotaph in Belfast in previous years, but they have not attended the main Sunday ceremony.

O’Neill, who will lay a laurel wreath at the Cenotaph in Belfast in her role as First Minister, will attend with DUP deputy First Minister Emma Little Pengelly.

Michelle O’Neill has insisted there is not a problem with the culture in Sinn Féin following a series of controversies that have hit the party. Ms O’Neill vowed to build back trust with anyone whose confidence in her party had been dinted following criticism of its handling of several separate allegations against party members.
