Martin McGuinness dies.

Will some men (and women) show up at the funeral in paramilitary gear and balaclavas and fire shots over the grave i wonder?

Beat me to it, the handling of this funeral presents a real challenge to Republicans, if they go for military trappings they risk alienating those in attendance both from the Unionist tradition and the mainstream political scene.
 
President Michael D Higgins has led the tributes.

"The world of politics and the people across this island will miss the leadership he gave, shown most clearly during the difficult times of the peace process, and his commitment to the values of genuine democracy that he demonstrated in the development of the institutions in Northern Ireland.

"As President of Ireland, I wish to pay tribute to his immense contribution to the advancement of peace and reconciliation in Northern Ireland, a contribution which has rightly been recognised across all shades of opinion."
