Charles to meet SF'S Adams today

Britain's Prince Charles will meet Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams today as he begins an emotional and historic trip to the west of Ireland where his great uncle Lord Louis Mountbatten was assassinated by the IRA.

One of the most poignants stops on the official four-day visit to the Republic and the North will be on Wednesday, when Prince Charles arrives in Mullaghmore, Co Sligo, the site of the atrocity.
