A former IRA man who planted the bomb which almost killed Margaret Thatcher and her cabinet has appealed to unionists to take ownership of any future negotiations for a united Ireland.
Belfast man Patrick Magee was given eight life sentences for his part in the 1984 attack at the Grand Hotel in Brighton, which claimed the lives of five people.
He was captured in a flat in Glasgow in June 1985 along with several other IRA members, including Sinn Féin MLA Martina Anderson.
