Today marks 20 years since the Good Friday Agreement was signed - effectively bringing peace to Northern Ireland.

Former US president Bill Clinton is expecting to join ex prime minister Tony Blair and Ireland’s former leader Bertie Ahern at a conference in Belfast to mark the occasion.

The historic deal ended the 30-year sectarian conflict – known as the Troubles - which claimed more than 3,000 lives.

It was codified by the British and Irish Governments with the agreement of most of the major Stormont parties except the Democratic Unionists.

Former US Senator George Mitchell, who chaired the negotiations leading to the 1998 deal, will be among the guests at Queen’s University in Belfast.
