Queen Elizabeth visited the site of a notorious massacre Wednesday, where British troops killed 14 Irish civilians in 1920, a reprisal for the assassination of undercover agents by the Irish Republican Army (IRA).
The Queen's visit to Croke Park on the second day of her historic trip to the Republic of Ireland highlights the vast improvement in Anglo-Irish relations since those dark days.
Later Wednesday, the Queen will make her only public speech of the four-day visit during a state dinner hosted by Irish President Mary McAleese, who suggested the visit.
The Queen is receiving high marks from the Irish press for her dignified conduct during her long-anticipated visit, which aims to reconcile and normalize Anglo-Irish relations.
Queen Elizabeth's visit to Ireland comes 100 years after the previous visit by a British monarch.
