| Tracking Bill: Hillary rides along to Bill's party in Ireland | |
| 2023-04-19 | |
The charismatic former president was seen in the crowded Londonderry establishment raising his glass before taking a sip of the Black stuff. Clinton was there with Colum Eastwood, the leader of Northern Ireland's Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP), who welcomed him to the city as the island of Ireland marks the 25th anniversary of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement. Lively photographs from the Tap House pub showed Eastwood's wife Rachael Eastwood enthusiastically embracing Clinton, to the delight of the 42nd president, who to this day remains a popular figure on both sides of the Irish border. With traditional local music playing the background and to the flashes of cameras, the raucous group cheered as they raised glasses of Guinness, before taking a sip. Emerging outside, Clinton was mobbed by more crowds of well wishers with whom he shook hands and posed for selfies. He took time to speak to several of those gathered there before getting into his waiting vehicle to leave. World leaders have flown in across the world to mark the occasion in Belfast. Clinton will be joined by ex-British prime minister Tony Blair, former Irish premier Bertie Ahern and European Commission vice president Maros Sefcovic. Irish premier Leo Varadkar and European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen will also address the conference on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton arrived at Limavady High School on Friday morning where she unveiled two benches to mark the new shared education campus with the adjacent St Mary's High School. Mrs Clinton met the head boy and head girl from both schools in Co Londonderry before visiting woodwork classrooms where she talked with pupils and viewed their projects. | |
