"IN a courageous act of forgiveness..."

From The Express:

IN a courageous act of forgiveness, the Queen is to shake hands with ex- IRA commander Martin McGuinness whose terrorist comrades murdered her cousin Lord Mountbatten.

The historic symbol of reconciliation between Her Majesty and the man who is now Northern Ireland’s Deputy First ­Minister will take place in Belfast on Wednesday.

It comes 34 years after her beloved relative – and uncle to the Duke of Edinburgh – was ­assassinated in a bomb plot.

Meanwhile, from some Irish newspaper or other:

IN a courageous act of forgiveness, Northern Ireland's Deputy First Minister is to shake hands with the head of a state which has occupied his country for centuries.

The historic symbol of reconciliation between former freedom fighter Martin McGuinness and the woman who is the United Kingdom's hereditary ruler will take place in Belfast on Wednesday.

It comes 34 years after thirteen of his fellow countrymen were gunned down in the street by British paratroopers.
