Warm tributes have been paid from across the political benches at Stormont to DUP politician Christopher Stalford.
Many MLAs spoke of their shock as well as sadness following the sudden death of the 39-year-old father-of-four at the weekend.
DUP MLAs gathered in a circle in the Great Hall at Parliament Buildings for a prayer and moment of silence on Monday morning before entering the chamber for special plenary sitting in Mr Stalford’s memory.
