1916-Easter-Rising

Mr G talks about the joys of Easter, as well as a look back to Dublin’s Easter Uprising of 1916, which was a pivotal event in Ireland’s recent history. Before the Easter Uprising, few in Ireland were overt supporters of the rebels. After the 1916 Uprising, those involved achieved the status of heroes. Other subjects include The Peasants’ Revolt (also called Wat Tyler’s Rebellion or the Great Rising), and a look at Greenwich’s new statue.
