On the Queen's visit, the masked man said: "The Queen of England is wanted for war crimes in Ireland and is not wanted on Irish soil"
A Londonderry priest has offered to meet members of the Real IRA, after the dissident group threatened to kill more police officers.
The threat was made in a statement by a masked man at a rally organised by the 32 County Sovereignty Movement in the city on Monday.
The statement also made clear the Real IRA's opposition to the Queen's upcoming visit to Ireland.
Fr Michael Canny said dissidents offered "darkness and despair".
"I would be prepared to meet anybody and talk to anybody, but I have a feeling that these people have set their sights on one course and that is trying to unite Ireland by force," Fr Canny said.
"That is what the agenda is and there is no other room for manoeuvre.
"I am saying that it cannot be done by force, that it can only be done by convincing people and through the democratic process."
The 32 County Sovereignty Movement organised the rally to mark the anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising.
It is regarded as the political wing of the Real IRA, the organisation which claimed responsibility for the Omagh bomb which killed 29 people and unborn twins in 1998.
It also killed two soldiers in Antrim two years ago and exploded a car bomb in Derry last year.
In a statement read out at the City Cemetery in Derry, the Real IRA said police officers would be targeted "regardless of their religion, cultural background or motivation".
On the Queen's visit, the masked man said: "The Queen of England is wanted for war crimes in Ireland and is not wanted on Irish soil."
