Hundreds at funeral for Martin McGuinness

(23 Mar 2017) The coffin of Northern Ireland's former deputy first minister Martin McGuinness arrived at a Londonderry church on Friday. Thousands of mourners gathered outside for the funeral of the former IRA commander who helped lead his militant movement to compromise with British Protestants. Thursday's ceremony is the biggest Irish republican funeral since the 1981 death of Irish Republican Army hunger strike leader Bobby Sands. Among senior leaders in attendance in Derry - as Irish nationalists call the city - are former US President Bill Clinton, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the Republic of Ireland's current leaders and former Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern. Blair and Ahern oversaw US-mediated Belfast negotiations that clinched Northern Ireland's 1998 peace accord. McGuinness died Tuesday at age 66.
