The US President Joe Biden has arrived on a visit to Northern Ireland.

He was greeted as he exited the plane at Belfast International Airport by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

Mr Biden is in Belfast to mark the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday Agreement.

The 1998 peace deal brought an end to the Troubles - the decades-long violent conflict in Northern Ireland in which thousands of people were killed.

A huge security operation was put in place, with many city centre streets closed ahead of the visit.

While Mr Biden has praised what politicians did to secure peace in 1998, his visit is overshadowed by the fact that Northern Ireland's power-sharing government is not functioning.
