Garden of Remembrance

This guide to the Garden of Remembrance in Dublin opens with Queen Elizabeth the Second standing exactly where you are in 2011, laying a wreath in a garden built to honor Irish men and women who died fighting British rule. You'll hear how this ground was once a holding cell, where the Irish Volunteers formed in 1913 and where leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising were held before Kilmainham Gaol. It traces the garden's 1966 opening by President Eamon de Valera, and the older legend of the Children of Lir behind its bronze centerpiece.
