The initial shot was mistaken for an IRA salute as the dead, Mairead Farrell, 31, Daniel McCann, 30, and Sean Savage, 23, were buried. Military services have a long tradition of providing funeral honors for fallen veterans of their branches. Two RUC helicopters hovered overhead. However, if you do wish to salute, follow the others attending the funeral who are in civilian clothing. This involves between three and seven service men or women firing three shots from their service rifles in honour of their compatriot. When an IRA gunman fired a three-volley salute over the coffins, police baton charged and fired plastic bullets into the crowd. The salute is delivered with the right hand, the arm is brought out to its full extent, then the hand is brought in line with a point just below the beret cap badge., palm facing downwards , pause, then cut away smartly to the side. BELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) _ Youth gangs hijacked and burned at least 15 vehicles and more than a dozen people were injured in violence surrounding the funeral of an Irish Republican Army guerrilla, authorities said. Blanks are fired instead of real bullets, for safety reasons. Together, Marsh and Bradby carry it off successfully, particularly with a good "IRA funeral" scene, a military-style salute defiantly carried out under the noses of the British soldiers. There are some reports the man was then pursued by hundreds of youths oblivious to the danger. When a military salute or gun salute happens at a British Armed Forces funeral, this usually takes the form of a three-volley salute. An estimated 3,000 people attended the funeral Wednesday for Finbar McKenna, 33, who was killed by his own bomb outside the Springfield police station in Belfast on Saturday. The custom originates from the European dynastic wars, in which the fighting ceased so that the dead and wounded could be removed.
British Soldiers Salute IRA Volunteer|3 - Seen this news clip as well, very interesting IMO How Wars are Won & Lost - A Simple Model|2 - I could write paragraphs about this and other people have before so instead I'm just going to post a video from a popular youtube teaching aid channel. Hughes was the second person, after Bobby Sands, to die in May 1981 during a hunger strike at the Maze (Long Kesh) prison. In the video, it is mentioned that in the Troubles before 1983 (when Marley died), British soldiers near IRA funerals actually saluted IRA funerals. It doesn't mention the IRA specifically but around 3:30 in it gives an overview. I was just watching a video of the funeral of IRA Volunteer Larry Marley.
