Portrait of Trimble to be unveiled at Stormont
FORMER First Minister David Trimble’s official Stormont portrait will tonight be unveiled at Parliament Buildings.
The artwork, commissioned by the Assembly for all former first and deputy first ministers, will be hung at Stormont a decade after Lord Trimble last exercised the powers of first minister.
Lord Trimble, now a Conservative peer, was first minister when the Assembly was suspended in 2002 but lost his position as Ulster Unionist leader before Stormont was restored five years later.
Former Ulster Unionist Assembly member David McNarry, who worked as an adviser to Lord Trimble, will be at the event.
He said: “I hope that there will be a good turnout of genuine people to recognise the contribution made by David Trimble, not only as leader of the Ulster Unionist Party, but as the first first minister.”
