Widespread anger from unionists and victims as Martin McGuinness awarded a posthumous "certificate of honour" by the city of San Francisco

There has been widespread anger from unionists and victims of the IRA after Martin McGuinness was awarded a posthumous "certificate of honour" by the city of San Francisco.

The citation says, 'Whereas, on behalf of the city and county of San Francisco, I am pleased to recognize and honour the memory of Martin McGuinness, on the occasion of the National Day of Ireland. Martin's coureagous service in the military and as a negotiator helped cement and shape the Northern Ireland Peace Process and construct the Good Friday agreement. His sacrifice and dedication to secure peace for his people is not only an inspiration to us all, but represents San Francisco values at their best. He leaves a legacy that embodies and celebrates the diverse history and strength of San Francisco and Ireland.'

Also on the programme, more long delays at Belfast International Airport security today, Sir Cliff Richard is calling for the law to protect the anonymity of people suspected of sexual offences until they are actually charged with a crime and a row has erupted over the weekend after a loyalist and unionist protest against a Sinn Fein event in Ballynahinch.
