Four decades after the Queen's last visit to Northern Ireland in 1977 for 14 years due to a terrorist threat, Sinn Fein deputy leader Michelle O'Neill has accepted an invitation to attend the coronation in London.
"There's no doubt republicanism and the monarchy, they are two things that are very much at odds but again, I think that's just the world we live in," she added.
He thanked her for"the incredibly kind things" she had said about his mother and her contribution to peace in Northern Ireland. She used very few words, but they were spoken in the Irish language, a hugely symbolic gesture of reconciliation. "With the benefit of historical hindsight we can all see things which we wish had been done differently or not at all."
