For those who don't know the story, from BBC: "The death of an Irish soldier killed on a UN peacekeeping mission in Lebanon has "pierced the hearts of his family", mourners at his funeral were told. Pte Seán Rooney was in an armoured vehicle that came under fire while travelling to Beirut on 14 December. His funeral was held on Thursday in the Church of the Holy Family in Dundalk, County Louth. Following the service, the coffin travelled to Aiken Barracks in County Louth, where he had been stationed. The funeral cortège then travelled to Newtowncunningham, County Donegal, for the burial ceremony. The coffin, carried by members of 27 Infantry, in which Pte Rooney served, was transferred from the hearse to a gun carriage. A lone piper played as the procession made its way to the cemetery at All Saints Catholic Church."

Irish soldiers and British soldiers have mutual respect for each other, some have served in the British military, only a very very tiny portion of the Irish community hate the British, indeed there has a great reapproachment between two countries since 1922 so much so that the Queen had a very warm welcome in Ireland when she visited. To say "copy" is not quite the right world to use, it's a military ritual common to most military organisations, a respect given to one who has died in service of their country, we British have seen enough military funerals to know too much of it, if you are ever in Britain please do visit the National Memorial Arboretum in Alrewas to understand the scale of our national losses including Irishmen and women who died in the cause of freedom.
