Trimble wrote to Martin McGuinness last week to say he was indispensable to peace process
Ex-UUP leader David Trimble wrote to former political foe Martin McGuinness just last week to say he believed he had been indispensable to securing the republican movement's support for the Good Friday Agreement and devolution.
In a letter, dated March 12, which was released by the Nobel Peace prize-winner following Mr. McGuinness’ death this morning, he also said the Sinn Féin leader had been foremost in reaching out to unionists.
“Like many I was surprised to learn of your illness and of its seriousness,” he wrote.
