Former Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness has joined Royal photographer Lord Snowdon and Sixties socialite Christine Keeler as new entrants in an acclaimed publication documenting the lives of high-profile people.
The latest Oxford Dictionary of National Biography adds details of 224 men and women who left their mark on the UK, and who died during 2017.
In total the dictionary, published today, comprises biographies of 64,054 individuals, written by over 14,000 contributors.
The additions also include actors Sir Roger Moore and Rosemary Leach; Colin Dexter, the creator of Inspector Morse; and cricketer Rachael Heyhoe Flint.
The Northern Ireland entrants are led by Mr McGuinness, the former IRA leader turned peacemaker, who jointly led the Executive from 2007 until shortly before his death in March 2017.
