@IrishTimes has only once previously used this poster front page format as a tribute -- for Nelson Mandela. They sit well together
"He proved that articulate speech is in the end both more eloquent and more effective than the deafening roar of the gun. There is no glamour in that – persistent decency has none of the dark allure of violence."

And this is that magnificent photograph - copyright Trevor McBride - in all its glory, front and back of Tuesday& #39;s @IrishTimes
The traditional page one, sitting inside today& #39;s @IrishTimes Hume supplement, also features a cracking photograph. In full flow, Hume makes his forceful argument to a British army officer at Magilligan in 1972. Photo is by Jimmy McCormack
