Lord Trimble was a man who rose to 'impossible challenges with considerable strength of character and complete integrity', mourners at his funeral have been told.

The Reverend Dr Charles McMullen, who delivered the eulogy at Harmony Hill Presbyterian Church, reflected on Lord Trimble's life, both as a family man and a politician committed to gaining peace in Northern Ireland. The deal led to the setting up of a new devolved government at Stormont and ushered in a new, more peaceful era of power-sharing politics.
"I am sure that he would have wanted this tribute to be as much about his wife Daphne, because she has been his constant companion and soulmate since their marriage in 1978 and his achievements would not have been possible without her unwavering support," he said. "In death he is finally being afforded the respect and love from all communities on this island that he deserves, and did not always receive in the height of his powers."
