RIP today for one of the most influential politicians who was able to bring some sort of peace to the province of N Ireland John Hume a true man of the people for the people
Saw this on Twitter: “When John Hume first got dementia, he would still go on long walks, you’d always see him along the Foyle. As it progressed, people would walk with him to make sure he was alright. A few people I know walked him home. John Hume looked after us, so Derry looked after him. RIP John.”
