O'Neill was the first senior Sinn Féin figure to take part in an official Remembrance Sunday ceremonyA banner accusing Sinn Féin of being "traitors" has been put up at the office of the party's deputy leader Michelle O'Neill.
"I've committed to being a first minister for all and I will live up to that at every turn," she said. "Of course it is difficult to hear that, particularly from people who I’ve known all of my life, but I also absolutely accept they are entitled to feel how they feel, particularly if they have lost a loved one," O'Neill told reporters on Monday.Posting on social media ahead of the ceremony, O'Neill said she was "committed to representing everyone equally"."We each have our own identity, experiences, and perspectives.
