As much as it was great to see how well they got on, I feel their relationship was largely symbolic and, once they were faced with harder issues of governance, I think their relationship wouldve become fractured. I'm almost glad we didn't see that happen as I did enjoy their friendship.
And it all started when Gerry Adams turned to Ian Paisley during the GFA and said, "We gotta look after the working classes in our community", to which Paisley said, "Yes, we must Gerry. Let's get this done!"
Massive time in our history when Ian and Martin decided to shake hands, it's a shame the both are still not around because we would have made real progress by now 🇮🇪
I am a unionist and I truly wish both these men were still around and in charge, out of all at sinn fein I really believe Martin McGuinness wanted peace and even friendship with unionists

It took tremendous courage on both sides to get to this point and to recognise the importance of working towards peace and the common good of all. This is living proof that we can work things out if we're sincere about talking rather than attacking.
Pity that here in the 2020/2021 era, our Taoiseach and the other party he took to work with him have been bad-mouthing the ones who tried to make peace with the UK and started working on that, here's to hoping in the future they do not just bring up the past in an effort to save their salaries and seats in our here government, while they also deal damage to the relations between the two islands. Lets hope one day they stop bad-mouthing and let many of us work to moving on and looking after the people as a whole.
I was a student living in Ravenhill Road in early 90s for a while, its not far from Ian Paisleys flag church, it was impossible for me to roam around Falls road, i just scared to go there for whatever excuses. Its so touching seeing these two had a banter together. RIP Martin and Ian, your enormous contributions to peace in NI is remembered and greatly appreciated.❤
A lot of men an women in there graves because of this man an his bigotry towards innocent people he incited a lot of trouble..on both sides NEVER NEVER NEVER can go to hell.
This was a monumental compromise . Big Ian was comical, insulting, and brutally honest. In the end he showed great humility.and courage. We need more of the same today..
What a great brother Ian was! And what a lovely man Martin became. The news reporter is unable to incite any nastiness or bitterness from Martin, so she provides some. The truth is that Ian was respected and loved by Roman Catholics because there was no difference between him in public and in private. I daresay the same may have been true of Martin. I wasn’t following events in Europe during those years.
This guy was as evil as they come.... Some of Paisley's rants during his so called speeches regarding Catholics reminded me of Hitler's rants about the Jews.... it was downright sickening... but yes peace was reached & in the end that was the most important thing....
@@gerrymckenna5227 she had to as the leader of the largest party in ni. To not go would have been a massive own goal. Don't think her or many of her cohort would have went in a private capacity. Same would apply to the other side.
I’m not even slightly religious, but I happened to read some of Paisley’s writings, and, though I was astonished, he came across as a man of deep faith. I can’t say anything about his politics, but he was a significant figure.
Evil murderer of innocents pays tribute to evil murderer of innocents. He ended up paying tribute to Paisley? Pity he couldn’t find it in him to pay tribute to the actual innocent people he killed in retaliation against him.
Just remember that if these two could work together, anyone can

Thatcher and Gerry Adams?
Two hate stirrers give it up because the game is over and they're regarded as legends. The Irish really are thick.
@@eyebrowes1886 Martin McGuiness is a hate stirrer ? In your dreams maybe.
@@CarlosHernandez-cp8qd Yes both very uninspiring political leaders, Thatcher and Adams.
This is living proof that peace can be achieved when we soften our hearts and sharpen our wits. Dialogue instead of monologue.
Amen to that 🙏

I loved one hated another growing up,but I grew too love the one I hated because the one I loved loved him,
Exactly how I felt. The one taught me to look at myself and move forward. I respect them both for the contribution they made to the peace process.
Yes this!

I find it amazing that these two became friends
It's great I'm Irish and it's great that this happened. There are no negatives

Respect to both
Yes respect all communities and both men ,God rest your soles
@ShiftCtrl85 😂
the end of an era for both sides of the community
Yea NWO now the problem
2 gone my heart bleeds
A lot of men an women in there graves because of this man an his bigotry towards innocent people he incited a lot of trouble..on both sides NEVER NEVER NEVER can go to hell.
If we are being honest with ourselves. However bad it sounds. Yes he did
And now Martin is gone.. who would have believed that!!
I still can't believe it
Ian Paisley was a great preacher. I still enjoy listening to his sermons.
That would make a great movie, both their lives then the friendship.
As bad as he was it was respectful to pay tribute to him,the way forward is to have respect for both communities.Brexit threatens that.
No it won't,Brexit is the only way forward.
@@starbuster9615 still think that now?

Met Mr Paisley many years ago at Bob Jones University! Great man!!
Two Great men who worked brilliant together. RIP both of them. They done brilliant for Northern Ireland. ♥️🙏

Two men with different views are definitely going to heaven strong political opinions they reconciled 100%GodBless them
The world is a better place
History will look on both Ian & Martin kindly....😢
Because Christ, not man, is King!
King of all Kings,
Jesus Christ rules forever!
No surrender.
They said Martin was evil. But paisley was evil behind a clerical collar, at least paisley repented his awful legacy in ireland
Nobody said Martin was evil. Evilness was personified with Ian Paisley.
The last true political leaders N Ireland had. None has come in anyway close to what Martin and Ian achieved, and they probably never will.
The lesson here is violence is futile.
We miss the leadership of these two.
all friends once they get into power..
If only the current crop of DUP politicians had the gravitas and pragmatism of Ian Paisley. RIP.
This guy was as evil as they come.... Some of Paisley's rants during his so called speeches regarding Catholics reminded me of Hitler's rants about the Jews.... it was downright sickening... but yes peace was reached & in the end that was the most important thing....

*Got a Fianna Fáil add on this video*
Talk about unnecessary violence?? Grudges....
Long time ago
that was a an that could not be bought or sold he was a threat to rome hate by many but love by many.
Never see a unionist or loyalist express this sympathy towards a nationalist or republican
Well that's not true, Ian Paisley Jr expressed sympathy when McGuinness became ill and when he died.
And Arlene Foster attended McGuinness's funeral and was applauded by the attendees for doing so.

We❤️Sir Ian paisley
Ian Paisley was a mouth piece that's all
I’m not even slightly religious, but I happened to read some of Paisley’s writings, and, though I was astonished, he came across as a man of deep faith. I can’t say anything about his politics, but he was a significant figure.
He was the trump of his era, inciting hatred and violence toward his opponents with impunity.
Fair play to him for heckling the Pope🤣👍🏻
Evil murderer of innocents pays tribute to evil murderer of innocents. He ended up paying tribute to Paisley? Pity he couldn’t find it in him to pay tribute to the actual innocent people he killed in retaliation against him.
