The funeral has taken place in Belfast of former IRA commander Brian Keenan.
The republican was a key figure in the organisation during the peace process and died this week from cancer.
Mr Keenan, from west Belfast, was a former member of the IRA's ruling army council who received an 18-year prison sentence in 1980 for conspiring to cause explosions.
He was branded the single biggest threat to the British state by Tony Blair's former head of staff Jonathan Powell.
Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams said the restoration of political power-sharing in Northern Ireland would have been impossible without him.
The 66-year-old father-of-six was involved in talks on weapons decommissioning with Canadian General John de Chastelain, which led to the IRA's 2005 decision to hand over arms.
He joined the group in 1968 following violence in Belfast and Derry.
In the early 1970s he controlled the arms of the Belfast IRA as quartermaster and was later accused of organising the bombing campaign in England.
An ex-trade unionist, he supported the so-called ballot box and the Armalite strategy by which republicans contested elections while engaging in violence.
In a marked progression of tactics, he became the IRA's go-between with the Independent International Commission on Decommissioning.
Mr Keenan was cremated at Roselawn cemetery near Belfast.
