MASSIVE SHOW OF GRIEF
Martin McGuinness, the Irish Republican Army chieftain who turned away from violence to forge bonds with Northern Ireland’s Protestants, was laid to rest Thursday in a cross-community service that illustrated the new alliances forged by the region’s slow-blooming peace process. Tens of thousands lined the streets of McGuinness’ native Bogside district of Derry as Sinn Fein party colleagues, IRA veterans, family members and lifelong friends took turns carrying his Irish f lag-draped casket.
