Clinton awards honorary degrees from Queen's University to eight people who worked to develop the Shared Education Campus, among them St Mary’s and Limavady High School's principals.
She speaks of the shared purpose needed to make the campus a reality, paying tribute to those who made it possible.
It is transformative she says, bringing young Protestants and Catholics together at a much earlier stage in life.
"This community had worked together to do something that at once seemed impossible" she says.

The principle of St Mary’s says her passion throughout her career has been about bringing children from different communities together.
She pays tribute to the work of Queen's University in changing how shared education works now in Northern Ireland.
Without their support and funding - and US philanthropists - the campus would never have come to be, she says.

Things at Queen's University kick off shortly, but this morning HIllary Clinton is in Limavady.
She is presiding over an honorary graduation ceremony at the town’s Shared Education Campus.

That's all from us for tonight, but we will be back tomorrow for more coverage from the conference at Queen's including speeches from the prime minister and the taoiseach.

A rendition of The Town I Loved So Well by Phil Coulter and the Ulster University choir is closing proceedings at the Guildhall.
The song, which is about growing up in Coulter's hometown of Derry during the Troubles, was a particular favourite of John Hume.
An instrumental version of the song was played at Hume’s funeral in 2020.
The final verse of the song, particularly appropriate for the many schoolchildren in attendance born after the peace deal, is a message of hope for a "bright, brand new day".

Clinton finishes his speech by honouring "two people who put their lives and careers on the line".
"I love and admire them both for what they stood for," he says of Trimble and Hume.
He finishes his speech by quoting Seamus Heaney: "It was a fortunate wind that blew me here."
The former US president exits the Guildhall to a standing ovation from the audience.

Struggles in life can always be met with an excuse to say no, Clinton says.
There are those who say yes, he says, as he recalls his first meeting with both Hume and Trimble - the latter he says, never got the credit he deserved.
When people take a leap of faith, Clinton says, they get rewarded.
"It happened, didn’t it?” he says of peace in Northen Ireland.

Mr Clinton says all faiths teach us to love and respect one and other.
He says we all share a common humanity
Hume and Trimble and people who made peace “got over themselves” and knew that "a broken clock is right twice a day” and “that not everyone is right all the time", Clinton adds.
No matter how much we dislike our enemies “we must lift out children and our grandchildren’s lives” - “that is the ultimate gift of the Good Friday Agreement”.

Clinton says as he gets older he thinks more on things “that are really big and things that are really small.”
He says difference accounts only for such a small percentage of the human genome and so much time is wasted on it.
He dwells for a while on the scale of the ever expanding universe.
Peacemakers, he says, do not ruminate on the scale of things, they just know the importance of peace.
"David and John did not need to know that to do it," he adds.

Clinton says Derry is a city he loves and is filled with memories for him.
He pays tribute to the politicians both past and present and to the Hume Foundation for keeping the important work going.
He now pays tribute to Lyra McKee, four years after the young journalist was shot dead by the New IRA while observing rioting in the city.
He quotes McKee and says: "We owe it to her to say goodbye to bombs and bullets once and for all."
Addressing young people, Clinton says Hume and Trimble were thinking about their futures when they signed te agreement.
"They did not want you to inherit your parent’s and their nightmare," he says.
“You were the hope not just in Northern Ireland but in places divided all over the world today”

Clinton recounts a trip to Petra in Jordan with Daphne and David Trimble after the agreement was sealed.
He says he was like a little boy and at peace because he knew he had done his part.
Clinton adds he finds it hard to believe long it has been since he John and Pat Hume walked along the Peace Bridge in Derry to meet Martin McGuinness.
He says he’s sorry they are no longer there

The 42nd President of the United States, Bill Clinton, takes to the stage to give his keynote address.
He receives a rapturous applause and standing ovation from the audience as he is welcomed on stage.
Clinton says it’s an honour to be at the event and that he is reminded of a speech he gave as Arkansas governor.
"Not everyone was eager to hear me speak then," he says, but praises the warm welcome he has received in Derry.
He says everyone who is a father would have appreciated the speech by Nicholas Trimble.
He praises Rachel Hume and says he was fortunate to know her grandfather.

Next up is Rachel Hume, the granddaughter of John Hume.
She reads a letter written to her grandad and first read at his graveside.
She speaks of a man who gave orders and sang songs.
Her grandfather, who lived with dementia for much of her life, was always the biggest presence in the room, she says.
"He dedicated his life to bringing us peace, I know hope you have found some for yourself," she says.
She then introduces Bill Clinton to the stage

In a video message, U2’s Bono says: “No one wins unless everyone loses something”.
He says John Hume was a man who loved his home town but loved his wife, Pat, even more.
He adds that they looked for a great leader in a time of need and found Hume.
Bono says David Trimble was a man of great integrity and was a brilliant listener.
He was a politician seen as a hardliner but when the time came opted for peace, Bono says.

David Trimble’s son Nicholas now takes to the stage to give a reading dedicated to his late father.
He tells a packed Guildhall: “My dad could beat up your dad,” to laughs from the audience.
He says it is a primary school boast of just how great and proud he is of his “superman” dad.
Trimble says in his father's later years he became less physically able, but that he and John Hume were - and always would be - political supermen.
Addresses young people directly, he says he wants them to know great men went before them to give them opportunities.
“You don’t need to overcome the obstacles that they did,” he says.
He ends by returning to the primary school boast.
"My dad helped stop everybody’s dad fight and I will never not be proud of that."
