Justice Minister Naomi Long paid tribute to the prison officers who had lost thier lives in service alongside Beverley Wall, Prison Service director general and David Kennedy, Director of Prisons and Chairman of the Central Benevolent Fund
Justice Minister Naomi Long unveiled a commemorative ceramic Poppy Wreath at the the Northern Ireland Prison Service annual remembrance ceremony on Friday.
The memorial service to remember 32 officers who lost their lives in the course of duty was held at Hydebank Wood Memorial Garden.
The ceramic wreath, with the King’s insignia at the centre, was hand-made by prisoners, a number of whom are ex-servicemen.
Designed by Lucy Turner, from Prison Arts Foundation, the poppy wreath was a collaborative piece of work with armed forces charity SSAFA, Belfast Met and the Prison Service.
On 1 July 2002 he laid a laurel wreath at the monument two hours ahead of the main council ceremony to commemorate the anniversary of the Battle of the Somme.
Maskey described his gesture as a “major step for republicans and nationalists on this island”.
He did not attend the main ceremony that year, refusing to take part in what he called a “military commemoration” of the World War One battle.
Since then, Sinn Féin politicians have always declined to attend Cenotaph wreath laying ceremonies in any official capacity.
In the years that have passed, there have been other firsts and many other gestures in a bid to promote reconciliation and good relations.
