Historic Day in Northern Ireland

Martin McGuinness with fellow Sinn Fein Gerry Adams & other members walking out of the Houses of Parliament in London. 2008.

I just happened to be walking past as a tourist and took a shot of the Sinn Fein boys walking out of the Houses of Parliament. It was pure chance. They had just finished a crisis meeting in Parliament after Ireland had vetoed the Lisbon treaty. Today Deputy Minister of Northern Ireland, Martin McGuinness , a former IRA commander, shook the hand of the Queen for the first time ever on her visit to Northern Ireland in a gesture for reconciliation and the peace process. Excellent!!
