The Most Rev Dr Richard Clarke, Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland, has paid this tribute to Nelson Mandela, who died on the evening of December 5 2013.

“The death of Nelson Mandela marks the end of an era. He represented for all of us a new beginning for all the people of South Africa.
