On Prince Charles' royal visit to Ireland the handshake between himself and Sinn Féin leader, Gerry Adams, took centre stage yesterday.

The meeting between the two was the first ever between a British royal and a Sinn Féin leader. Mr. Adams described it as a 'symbolic' moment.

The interaction between the two has been immortalised by satirists across the UK in cartoons highlighting the past behind yesterday's handshake.
