Former Northern Ireland unionist leader Dr Ian Paisley has died.
The hardline Protestant cleric and Northern Ireland's former leader died at the age of 88, his Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) said on Friday.
Paisley served as Northern Ireland's first minister in 2007 and 2008, representing the DUP, the country's largest unionist party.
More to come.
