A moment in history
It was a simple gesture that lasted just seconds but will go down in history.
Her Majesty the Queen has met Martin McGuiness, a senior Sinn Fein politician who was once a commander of the IRA, and they shook hands.
It's being seen by many as the ultimate act of reconciliation. More than three and a half thousand people died in the troubles in Northern Ireland including the Queen's cousin Lord Mountbatten.

I'm glad that HRH the queen visited Northern Ireland my sincere best wishes to all who reside there now and in the future.
