Is that Michael Stone at the corner?

More seriously, I cannot think of another politician, north or south, who would generate an attendance like this.

Bertie and Bill looking a little shook.
One of them could make celebrity deaths 2018. They’ll get through this year.

Bill Clinton speaking now.

Giving Enda his kudos :clap:

Slow start from Bill there but he built up steadily as he went on and it turned into a fine eulogy.

Fucking apes of the highest order. Taking pictures of a coffin to impress their fucking ‘friends’ on social media, fucksake.

It’s a wonder they aren’t taking selfies with the coffin

Guarantee there’s thousands doing the rounds.

Overall that was a wonderful send off for Martin.

Really nice touches with the Reverends David Latimer and Harold Good both making excellent speeches and the congregation showed genuinely warm good wishes towards Arlene Foster for attending on several occasions throughout the ceremony.

Bill Clinton really was masterful when he spoke without script.

Mentioned how when Martin became Minister for Education, one of the first things he did was to significantly increase funding for schools in deprived Protestant areas.

"“He expanded the definition of “us” and shrank the definition of “them”. You have to finish his work.”

Bill looks like shit. Spending more time with Hillary obviously taking its toll.

David Latimer is a real showman. Those Free Presbyterians are generally great value.

Especially when they’re complimentary, as the Reverend Latimer was today.

This is magnificent stuff from Gerry Adams.

Gerry is a wonderful man.
