British, Irish, and American political leaders of the past and present have paid tribute to David Trimble, a key figure in the peace process in Northern Ireland, who died on July 25 at the age of 77 following a short illness.

The former first minister of Northern Ireland and former leader of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) was one of the principal architects of the Good Friday/Belfast Agreement that ended decades of conflict in the region.
