Ireland - conflict. Northern Ireland's Parliament in color and tradition in many respects follows that of the "Mother of Parliaments" at Westminster, London. Lord Wakehurst, the Governor of Northern Ireland, recently performed a State Opening as the representative of Queen Elizabeth, driving in state to Government Buildings and, seated as does the monarch, making the Speech from the Throne. Picture shows: Gunsmoke floats before Government Buildings, Stormont, as a 19-gun salute is fired at end of the Governor's speech.
