The prime ministers of Britain and Ireland paid respects to Nobel Peace laureate David Trimble at his funeral near Belfast on Monday as allies honoured his role in steering Northern Ireland's Protestant majority to a 1998 peace deal.
Trimble, who became the first to hold the office of Northern Irish First Minister under the power-sharing deal, which largely ended three decades of bloodshed in the region, died on July 25 at the age of 77 following a short illness.
