FOLLOWING Martin McGuinness's funeral last Thursday, today marks the 10-year anniversary of another landmark occasion in the history of politics in the north.
On March 26, 2007, DUP leader Ian Paisley sat next to Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams to confirm thathis party would enter into power-sharing government with his republican opponents for the first time.
The move came after Sinn Féin's decision to endorse the police in Northern Ireland and a subsequent assembly election which saw both parties returned with an increased number of seats.
In May of that year, Ian Paisley was sworn in as first minister while Martin McGuinness became deputy first minister. The relationship between the two former enemies becamse so successful that they soon became known as the Chuckle Brothers.
