Northern Ireland is marking the 25th anniversary of the landmark Good Friday peace agreement that largely ended three decades of bloodshed.
On April 10, 1998, The Irish and British prime ministers signed the deal - which was later ratified by a referendum - to set up a new government that would share power between Protestant and Catholic factions.
Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, but many in the Catholic minority resented British rule and wanted to be part of the sovereign Republic of Ireland. Now there are worries that Brexit may have put that hard-won peace at risk.
