John Hume did more for peace and reconciliation on this island than most people will ever appreciate. It clearly took its toll on him personally, but history will judge him as one of our greatest. Rest in Peace.

I once mentored a trainee teacher who told a class that Martin McGuinness was pretty much entirely reaponsible for peace in Northern Ireland. Decent chunk of the feedback from that lesson was me detailing the life and times of John Hume for him.

I was in Derry years ago when my daughter and I came across him; I had to shake his hand and thank him for all his work for peace. Told my daughter (6) to remember the day and that she shook the hand of someone she would hear about in history class. A gentleman, RIP John Hume.

Many of the things I know about John Hume I have learnt during his retirement. I look to his thoughts on being different, on conflict and on inequality during the dark days where this cause I have taken to heart become heavy and difficult. John always provides the light for me.
