Flanked by military personnel, President John F. Kennedy walks with a somber expression at the Arbour Hill Memorial in Dublin, 1963. During this visit, he placed a wreath on the graves of the executed leaders of the 1916 Rising, becoming the first foreign head of state to honour them in a formal ceremony.
