Murdered journalist Lyra McKee is buried in Belfast

the Journalist Lyra McKee came from a catholic background. Her begravningsgudstjänst held in a protestant church in Belfast. It was led by a protestant and a roman catholic priest and in kyrkbänken set, the northern irish protestant party, the DUP's leader next to the catholic Sinn Féin”

Lyra McKee was a person who broke down barriers, this was her hallmark in life and this is her legacy in death, said Stephen Forde, dean of Belfast cathedral.

From London travelled prime minister Theresa May and opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn to the funeral. From the other side of the Atlantic had Bill Clinton condemned the violence that took Lyra McKees life and announced that his ”heart was broken”.

The former american president had been important to get the northern ireland peace agreement in 1998 marked the end of the civil war.

Lyra McKee was a child of this peace.

. Balls, probably intended for the police, hit her in the head during a violent riot in Londonderry. Terrorist organisations ”New IRA” took on the responsibility.

the Murder unravels wounds in the whole of the Uk.

the Police have a period of time expressed concern that a new generation of terrorists to be strong in northern Ireland and last week's riots seemed to confirm the image. But the murder of the 29-year-old Lyra McKee has in particular given rise to a strong backlash. A record number of witnesses have, for example, contacted the police. It was not the bad old days. When was the hatred against the police and the fear of what the own side would do with you if you ”tjallade” is palpable.

Twenty years of peace has changed the face of northern Ireland. The crowd outside St Anne's cathedral in Belfast applauded when Lyra McKees coffin was carried in. Rainbow-coloured flags unfurled: Lyra McKee, was among many other LGBTQ activist.

for over two years, the region has no government. According to the peace agreement of 1998, the major catholic party, Sinn fein and the major protestant party, the DUP always reign together. Any such unity government has not been able to get to since the election, and the last few months, negotiations have ceased entirely.

the Conflicts that have made it impossible to form a government deals with issues like the irish language's position as well as gay rights, they have, in other words, nothing directly to do with the violence. In contrast, a functioning government is a prerequisite to be able to maintain and build on the over twenty-year-old peace.

– We have forgotten that defaulted policies always sooner or later leads to violence on our streets, said, for example, Colum Eastwood from the northern irish social democratic party after the assassination.

" Why in God's name, it requires a 29-year-old woman's death that we come to these insights? said the catholic priest, father Martin Magill during the funeral.

People stood up in the benches and applauded.

in northern Ireland but also in Britain as a whole. The country's political system has been shaken in the foundation of Brexit and northern Ireland is the most sensitive bit of the whole complicated puzzle.

Once the Uk leaves the EU (and the EU customs union) will the border between northern Ireland and Ireland to become an external EU border. It will in other words need to be checked.

In any way.

And the last one had controls this blew up people them in the air.

To find a viable solution that will allow the united kingdom can implement the Brexit and hold the border against the republic of Ireland open is both technically and politically difficult.

some say it is impossible.

It was against the background of all of this that Lyra McKee died.

And it was against the background of all this as she was buried.
