Boy's mother welcomes Charles visit

The mother of a boy murdered in the IRA bomb attack that killed the Queen's cousin Lord Mountbatten has welcomed Prince Charles' meeting with Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams.

The prince is to visit the place where his great-uncle was killed in 1979, on the second day of his visit to Ireland.

Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall will visit the village of Mullaghmore, in County Sligo, later.

Mary Hornsey, whose son Paul Maxwell, 15, was killed, said the prince's meeting with Mr Adams had been a "very good thing".
