My thoughts are for his wife and family, as 66 is a young age to die.

My condolences to his wife and family. While, yes, he had a terrorist past, where terrible things were done, he was instrumental to the peace process in Northern Ireland, and he was dedicated to it.

Thoughts are with his family.
I see Norman Tebbit has pulled no punches. Tbf Mrs T's enemies didn't when she kicked the bucket so all's fair.

I couldn't be more indifferent if I tried. No great loss to the world, let's be honest.

I met Martin McGuinness years ago at a Bloody Sunday commemoration in Manchester. It's normally held in London every year [the English one] but for some reason that year they couldn't do it. So Manchester stepped in. The former Republican prisoner in the H-Blocks I used to correspond with, his family were incredibly close to the whole McGuinness family. RIP.

He played a huge part in the NI Peace Process, regardless of our opinions.

That does not redeem him, he was still responsible for who knows how many deaths. I understand that it is politically expedient to forget about the past in an effort to move on, but still, this guy does not deserve our tears or sympathies.

I also wonder how many people condemning Martin McGuinness sing the praises of British soldiers and wear their poppies with pride every year
People are entitled to their opinions but Martin McGuinness did a lot of good for his country. RIP.

Bon voyage child killer. If peace breaks out in Syria, will we be gushing with praise for ISIS and Assad?

Personally, I will be quite glad when all the old figures (nationalist and republican) from the Troubles are gone, perhaps then NI can move forward.

Yeah nah, he just helped create a lasting peace between two factions that wanted to kill each and hate each other's guts; he then lead that peace on the nationalist side as Deputy First Minister for 9 years.
Show some respect for the dead you vile cretin!

Can't exactly say I feel an awful lot of sympathy for him due to his actions before the Good Friday Agreement.
