President Catherine Connolly is on the second day of her three-day visit to Northern Ireland.
She is due to address a civic reception in Derry’s Guildhall this morning.
Later she will visit the Museum of Free Derry, which charts the civil rights movement in the city and the events of Bloody Sunday in January 1972.
Thirteen civil rights protestors were shot dead on the streets of the Bogside in the city when British Army paratroopers opened fire on demonstrators.
A 14th man died later. A dozen other people were injured.
During her visit to the museum she will meet relatives of the Bloody Sunday families in private.
While in the Guildhall she is also expected to view the various peace prizes awarded to former SDLP leader John Hume, including the Nobel Peace Prize, which he was awarded alongside Ulster Unionist leader David Trimble.
Yesterday, President Connolly said the Good Friday Agreement, signed in 1998, stood as an example to a troubled world that peace was possible.
The President’s visit to Northern Ireland marks the first official visit of her presidency and fulfils a commitment made in her inauguration address that her first official visit would be to Northern Ireland, where she would meet with people from all communities and celebrate the rich heritage and traditions of all who live there.
Yesterday, she began her official visit with a number of engagements in Belfast, including a meeting with First Minister Michelle O’Neill and Deputy First Minister Emma Little-Pengelly at Stormont Castle, an address at Ulster University, and a number of community engagements.
The visit will conclude with a further engagement in Derry tomorrow.
