    Sinn Féin's Martin McGuinness, Northern Ireland's former deputy first minister, has died aged 66.

    It is understood he had been suffering from a rare heart condition.

    The former IRA leader turned peacemaker worked at the heart of the power-sharing government following the 1998 Good Friday Agreement.

    He became deputy first minister in 2007, standing alongside Democratic Unionist Party leaders Ian Paisley, Peter Robinson and Arlene Foster.

    RIP :shamrock:

    Wow! This is quite the shock, but respect to the man, not just for his part in the Good Friday Agreement but as recently as late last year and early this one, in forcing Arlene Foster's government to be brought to account over the RHI scandal.

    Just seen this. Not sure what I think of the guy, but a hugely influential character. He helped bring peace to the North and he improved the living standards of northern Catholics immeasurably.

    RIP.
