Very sad to hear that David Trimble has died. The peace process in Northern Ireland, and the Good Friday Agreement in particular, would not have happened without him. He could be a difficult and mercurial character but he was the right man in the right place at the right time
David Trimble was one of the most consequential political leaders of the last century whose life left an indelible mark on our shared island’s story.
He doesn’t often get enough credit but without his political bravery and the risks he took, there would have been no agreement.
David Trimble’s Nobel Peace Prize lecture is striking for its eloquence & self-criticism of his own tribe. Trimble’s flaws were often unmissable, but his intellect was exceptional & few NI politicians face down the hatred of their own side as he did.
He was a shy man with incredible courage.
It is interesting to know that he was also the former mayor of Nottingham.
Because of his position, he never went out without a bodyguard
