BRITAIN-IRELAND-DIPLOMACY
Irish President Michael D. Higgins (R) and his wife Sabina, walk up to the floor memorial to Earl Mountbatten of Burma and his wife, during his visit to Westminster Abbey in central London on April 8, 2014. Ireland's Michael D. Higgins is making the first state visit by a president of the republic since it gained independence from neighbouring Britain. The visit comes three years after Queen Elizabeth II made a groundbreaking trip to the republic, which helped to heal deep-rooted unease and put British-Irish relations on a new footing. Higgins' return visit will be seen as an official sign of further progress following the hard-won peace in Northern Ireland, which remains part of the United Kingdom.
