I got to spend some time at home recently meeting lots of peace babies who, like me, were born after the Good Friday Agreement was signed. Loads of interesting people, like John Hume’s grandkids to hear from. 📺: 22:30 on @BBCNewsnight. 🎥: @Liamweir14 Prod: @JudithWelikala – at Paddington, London
The first ‘peace baby’ to be born after the Good Friday Agreement was signed, Kerrie Patterson, speaks to Newsnight about how it changed the lives of her generation for the better 🎥 Watch our film on the agreement's 25th anniversary tonight | 10.30pm, BBC Two
