Former US President Bill Clinton has led tributes to David Trimble, stating that his “lifetime of service” helped bring peace to Northern Ireland.
The 77-year-old peer and ex-leader of the Ulster Unionist Party was one of the principal architects of the Good Friday/Belfast Agreement that ended decades of conflict in the region.
Lord Trimble, who jointly won the Nobel Peace Prize along with late SDLP leader John Hume, died on Monday following an illness.
