Details of a public memorial service for former first minister of Northern Ireland Ian Paisley have been released, with the event to be held on 19 October in Belfast.

The former DUP leader died earlier this month aged 88. His funeral and burial were private and attended only by members of his immediate family.

At the time, a statement from Mr Paisley’s wife, Eileen, said that details of a public service would be announced.

The invitation-only public service will be held in Belfast’s Ulster Hall at 3pm on Sunday, 19 October.
