    He will get a funeral service.   Some of his "missing victims" will not.          R I H.

I read about how he was such a family man. Maybe in regard to his own - but he ensured countless families couldn't function normally as a family by removing the father. He became a "man of peace" because the net was closing on him and he put his own cowardly, selfish life way up above any republican principles he was once apparently so passionate about.

I have no religious leaning - in fact I was brought up a catholic and am married to a Belfast protestant and I am now religion free. People like McGuinness exist on both sides, and I hate their bullying,murdering gun waving power equally. A man choosing to approach with a gun does so because he is a coward without a gun, without exception.

The world is one power hungry, cowardly thug short today. That's good.

Evidently the Queen sent a message to his widow.

I wonder which finger she used?

First time in my life that I actually had to agree with something said by Norman Tebbitt

Quite odd how many forums / social media show this opinion , yet the media in the UK just portrays him as a peacemaker I lost count of how many times it showed " the murderer and terrorist " shaking the queens hand and talking to Tony Blair yesterday, he may well have helped in brokering peace but I could not forgive his wrongdoings.

Martin McGuiness was a murderous terrorist. He was also a a decisive peacemaker. Some people seem to find it difficult to cope with these two sides of the man preferring to ignore one side or the other.

He chose peace before his terrorist past caught up with him. No other reason.
