Prince Charles has shaken hands with Gerry Adams during a historic first meeting between a British royal and the Sinn Féin President.

Mr Adams says both he and Prince Charles expressed 'regret' for 'what had happened' in the North during the Troubles.

The private meeting between the two lasted over 10 minutes - and comes on the first day of Prince Charles's visit; which will see him visit the scene of the IRA bombing that killed his great-uncle Lord Mountbatten in 1979.

Prince Charles says he's delighted to be back in Ireland - and says the Irish people have a special place in his heart.
