Over the years I have come to know ⁦@ArleneFosterUK⁩ well. She is a dedicated public servant and a champion for Northern Ireland. She has made a significant contribution to the UK. I wish her well as she steps down as First Minister and hope we continue to hear her voice.

@ErvineLinda I used to proudly toast the Banrigh when serving in the British Army. Part of many Scots Gaelic traditions alive and well today.

@WW1CentenaryNI @SommeAssoc @SomBattlefields We can never underestimate the importance of the Monaco conversations with people like #tomhartley We must keep on keeping on!!!!!

@PaulClark_UTV @SommeAssoc @SomBattlefields The Monaco weekend with you and he will remain long in the memory. The catalyst for so many great friendships and so many fulfilling days since. And more to come yet.

@WW1CentenaryNI @SommeAssoc What a wonderful person! I have been a regular visitor to the @SomBattlefields since the 1990s. On one occasion, Ian was the Lord Mayor of Belfast. In the rain, he spoke to me, wearing his Mayoral chain. He never flinched. This photograph shows him wearing the tie of the Dubs..

Dr Samuel Ian Gamble Adamson, OBE.

It is with deep sadness that we heard of the sudden passing following illness, of our Founder member, former Chairman and subsequent Vice President, Dr Ian Adamson. It was a privilege to have worked with you for 25 years.

[Donal Fallon @fallon_donal]

Had the pleasure of meeting once or twice at commemorative events in Decade of Centenaries. Despite very different world views, he was someone deeply committed to bridge building and respecting traditions. RIP.

Folks - just been informed of the sudden passing of Dr Ian Adamson OBE, a founding member of the Northern Ireland First World Centenary Committee. A true trailblazer and frontiersman, committed Ulster Scot, Irish speaker historian. A great friend who will be much missed.

@CullybackeyACF @officaligmascot @acftrgadviser @CullybackeyColl @CCOY1NIACF @acf Well done. What a great effort indeed. Would expect nothing less from @irish_guards cadets. @ArmyCGS will be well proud of you too.

First wreaths laid in Kilkeel this morning. We were blessed with blue skies and birdsong. Somehow so appropriate on this day of all days.
