Martin McGuinness's mother dies
The mother of the Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness has died.
Peggy McGuinness passed away peacefully earlier today at her home in Elmwood Street in Derry's Bogside.
Mr McGuinness, MP for Mid-Ulster, and his mother were exceptionally close and were often pictured together. Earlier this year photos of the pair taken on Derry's Walls featured in an exhibition celebrating family life.
Pre-deceased by her husband, William, Peggy is survived by her children Thomas, Martin, Paul, Geraldine, William, Declan and John.
Her funeral will take place on Wednesday at 11.15am in St. Columba's Church, Longtower.
A native of Inishowen, Peggy McGuinness will be laid to rest in St. Mary's Cemetery, Cockhill, Buncrana, Co. Donegal.
