Deputy First Minister pays tribute to 'hero' war pilot
Northern Ireland's deputy first minister has paid tribute to John "Paddy" Hemingway, who died on Monday aged 105.
Gp Capt Hemingway was the last surviving member of "The Few" - a group of pilots who fought in the Battle of Britain during World War Two.
Speaking in the assembly on Tuesday, Emma Little-Pengelly said the sacrifices made by that generation were "absolutely incredible".
"I think that it is right that we pay tribute to that incredible generation, and of course we grieve the passing of the last of 'The Few'."
