Over 5,000 attended the 1916 Easter Rising commemoration held at Trafalgar square, London in 1966. The South London Girl Pipers headed the parade which included members of the old IRA and Cumann na mBan. Actor Eddie Golden read the Proclamation.
Ruairi Brugha, son of Cathal, gave an address where he said:
"We on our part must realize that force may not bring unity. That the reverse in fact can be true. Force can create resistance and what we are trying to bring about is unity. It was force that kept Ireland in chains."
