Description

Letitia Fitzpatrick reports for UTV Live on those campaigning for Yes in the referendum on the Good Friday Agreement. These include Pat Campbell, who lost a son to violence in the Troubles but who is urging people to put aside any elements they don't like about the Agreement and vote for peace. There is also a spokesperson for the union Unison, which is urging its members to vote Yes.

There are clips from a video sent to all first-time voters with messages from celebrities such as Kenneth Branagh. Colin Parry, who lost his son to IRA violence in Warrington, is also urging people to embrace the Agreement. David Trimble is campaigning in Derry with the MP Kate Hoey, stressing that Northern Ireland's links to the UK have actually been strengthened by the Agreement.
