Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Taoiseach Micheál Martin are among mourners who have gathered for the funeral of David Trimble.
The historic deal in 1998 would not have been possible without Lord Trimble.
In recent years, Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness, the SDLP's Seamus Mallon and the DUP's Ian Paisley have also passed away.Yes, there are still crises, but the main issues are no longer about life and death. But critics opposed his decision to form a ruling executive which included Sinn Féin ministers in advance of the IRA agreeing to put its weapons beyond use.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson, we understand, is going to be there, as will Taoiseach Micheál Martin, Irish President Michael D Higgins, as well as those local political figures who played such a leading role in Lord Trimble's life.
