An official portrait of the late Nobel Peace Prize winner John Hume has been unveiled in Westminster.

The portrait was commissioned by the Speaker's advisory committee on works of art.
It was painted by Northern Ireland artist Colin Davidson and was based on sketches he made of the founding member of the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) in 2016.
The portrait was unveiled on Monday in Portcullis House.
Mr Hume was one of the highest-profile politicians in Northern Ireland and played a major role in the peace talks which led to the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.
He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace alongside David Trimble, the then leader of the Ulster Unionist Party.
Mr Hume died in Londonderry in 2020 at the age of 83.
The speaker's advisory committee on works of art agreed to commission the portrait following a proposal from SDLP MP for Belfast South Claire Hanna.
