On 11 October 1988 Ian Paisley interrupts Pope John Paul II at the European Parliament.
The DUP (Democratic Unionist Party) leader Ian Paisley was ejected from the Strasbourg Parliament after interrupting Pope John Paul II's address to members.
He was warned twice by the president of the Parliament Lord Plum that if he didn't stop he would be excluded. Paisley unfolded a poster declaring the Pope to be the anti-Christ and was subsequently ejected from the chamber by security men.
Inside the chamber the Pope continued to read from his prepared script, making no reference to the disruption and defending the role of Christianity in public life.
