at the state funeral of the former Taoiseach Albert Reynolds have heard

Among those at the requiem mass in Dublin was former

Prime Minister Sir John Major with whom he negotiated the

Our Dublin correspondent Shane Harrison reports.

A state funeral, a Requiem Mass, and a man remembered for contributing so

much to the start of the peace process. Politicians from north and

south were there and so to a former British Prime Minister. Of the many

people here today, one is particularly special to the family

and that is Mr John Major. I greeted him on the way in and thanked him

for being here. His words were typical, we're else would I be?

Albert Reynolds who famously asked, who is afraid of peace, was fondly

recalled. Albert thought deeply about violence. He knew that piece

is more than the mere absence of war. He also realise that piece

cannot take root until the violence stops. That was his central message.

It was also a family occasion. Few of us will ever change the course of

history. But our collective efforts can make this a better place. How

successful he was in his life is for others to judge. Two hours, it does

not matter. He was just simply great. The former Taoiseach was

buried with full military honours in the presence of his family.

The police say they've received a complaint about the event, and that

It's about time that, late. That constitutes hate speech. They were

singing these songs in praise of the INA well another organisation was

knee capping somebody. There are serious questions to be asked, what

is put into young people's Mes? The people that organise the festival

are people who certainly would not be in the position to support the

sort of views which were expressed by this member of the band at this

concert. Intolerance of any kind, weather it be Republican or a

loyalist, should be rejected. When contacted tonight a member of the

band said they had no comment to make.

The police are continuing to question three people about

a crash involving a car which was hijacked in Londonderry overnight.

It began at Fountain Hill in the Waterside just before half past

three when a group of people stopped a car and attacked the driver.

The stolen car then crashed at Rosswater off the Limavady Road.

Two men and a woman - all in their 20s - were arrested.

Local film makers have been paying tribute to Lord

The actor and Oscar winning director had a long association with

Northern Ireland and was involved in several films made here.

Long before his film career took off, Richard Attenborough was well

acquainted with Northern Ireland. Based here with the IDF during the

war, he learned about families while training for a reconnaissance work.

He was an established star and director when Joel Gilbert cast him

in a film. He was called the governor. And rightly so. The

friends he had, the people he knew, he was a very special man to them,

including to me. He was back in Northern Ireland in 2006 to direct a

film starring Shirley Mick clean and Christopher Plummer. It was a film

about a World War II bomber, the millionaire territory for a man who

was formerly with the royal air force. To be working in the movies,

to be allowed to express my feelings, my hopes and aspirations,

in the movies and the cinema is wonderful. I would want to go on and

on and still I just fell off the tree and disappeared.

Internationally acclaimed for films like Gandhi, he helped bring

Northern Ireland into the spotlight as a good place to make films. A

valuable legacy. Graeme McDole has announced he will

part company with Horizon Sports Management

at the end of this season. McDole is to take charge

of his own commercial interests. He thanked the agency, which he

joined in 2007, for showing at the Barclays Fed Ex Playoff event

in New Jersey last night. Rory McIlroy aiming

for his fourth win in a row finished Now for the weather forecast. Good

evening. We did not have great weather for the bank holiday. A damp

and breezy start to leak. Things settle down in the middle of the

week with dry weather the way. It is not expected to last, from Wednesday

night things turn more unsettled. Still some patchy rain tonight,

especially in the east. Many places will become dry and the breeze will

ease down. Wheeled onto a lot of cloud which means it will be mild.

-- we hold onto. Things will improve tomorrow and skies will brighten. It

will be a cloudy start to the day. It is mainly dry across the Republic

of Ireland and much of northern Britain, some decent sunshine for

north-west England and up into Scotland. Rain across the southern

half of Britain with the odd shower. Temperature is not too bad, 18

degrees. Temperatures will be better tomorrow for Northern Ireland,

getting up to 18 degrees. It will brighten up, initially in the East

and then eventually brighter skies will extend to the West. Wednesday

will also get off to a dry start. Late in the day it becomes cloudy

and breezy. The rest of the week looks like it will stay showery.

That's it for now. We will see you tomorrow morning at 6.25 in the

morning. Have a very good night.
