DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson has insisted the Union has not been weakened by the death of the Queen.
Sir Jeffrey said times of change bring "uncertainty" but he was confident the new King Charles III will continue to "build the unity of our United Kingdom".
He said Sinn Féin's prominent role in events during the monarch's visit to Northern Ireland was a "sign of progress" and a "mark of how far we've come".
