Belfast reflects on 20 years since first IRA ceasefire
Northern Ireland will reflect on a long spell of relative peace this weekend, marking 20 years since the IRA announced it would cease all military operations.
Shortly after 11am on Wednesday 31 August 1994, the Irish Republican Army called a ceasefire that paved the way for the Northern Irish peace process.
Two decades have passed since the IRA ceasefire of 1994 (August 31, 1994) and the peace dividend has revitalised Belfast's city centre.
The Titanic museum and Titanic film studios are some of the must-see sights on any trip to the capital of Northern Ireland.
But not far from the city centre, so-called peace lines - walls of brick, steel and barbed wire - divide Catholic and Protestant neighbourhoods.
The largest barrier dates back to 1970, after the British territory's sectarian conflict began with major Catholic-Protestant street battles.
Despite relative peace, the walls have kept growing in number and size during the past two decades.
The Falls Road is a Catholic heartland, a thriving community rich with heritage and culture.
Running almost parallel, only a few hundred meters away, is the Shankill Road.
It's a Protestant area� rich in heritage and also proud of its culture.
Brian McFaul, reflects on how life has changed since the start of the peace process.
Waking up every morning and hearing news reports of who has been killed and wondering who was next. Getting stopped by the army everywhere you went and the police everywhere you went. Things seem a lot calmer now but we are still a long way off getting Peace, but it's a lot better now than what it was twenty years ago, he says.
Stephen Morrow lives in nearby Lisburn, a suburb of Belfast.
I grew up in the trouble's and I remember the barricades and the soldiers on the streets, people not being able to go into town and being restricted to their own areas, and just staying within their own areas, he recalls.
These abandoned homes of formerly protestant residents face Catholic homes with reinforced protected glass face just feet away. The communities are kept apart by a fence, which is part of the peace line.
Claire Harris is youth worker with the Belfast Interface Project, which aims to improve cross-commuity relations in districts close to the peace lines.
She says: Really, what we find is that the young people are there because it's a bit of craic (fun) and something to do, it's the adrenalin of being in a riot is something that's unparalleled in terms of the excitement that that brings.
Tourism in Northern Ireland has grown significantly in the past decade and dozens of new hotels have opened to cater from the growing number of visitors.
Sporadic intercommunal clashes have occurred in recent years, but this July's annual parades by Protestant hard-liners, passed off relatively peacefully.
Aiden McCormick, Director of Belfast City Sight Seeing buses, says that his industry relies on peace and stability.
A business like ours relies on political stability and peace and more importantly the perception of peace and stability. If you look at other regions in the world that have conflict or instability, visitor numbers drop immediately. Thankfully this year we have had a peaceful summer and visitor numbers are growing every single year.
in 2013, there 1.8 million visitors and the local unity government hopes to increase that to over 2 million annually by 2016.
The main faction of the Irish Republican Army, the Provisional IRA, killed nearly 1,800 people during a failed 1970-1994 campaign to force Northern Ireland out of the United Kingdom.
However the ceasefire resumed in 1997.
