Taylor: What was Belfast like after the funeral? Maguire:Eerie. It was if the who city had gone into some kind of stasis. People were getting on with their lives but it was quiet. We were in shock and mourning but there wasn't any trouble at all. Even the news that night struggled to report on...

I'll let you know if I need help, Many thanks.
