Two young boys play at the foot of Carson Staute at Stormont, east Belfast, Monday, Feb 12th, 2018. Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May and Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar left without a deal to restore devolved government. The talks ended on Wednesday after the DUP declared there was "no current prospect" of a deal. Both parties had been in negotiations in a bid to end the 13-month stalemate at Stormont. Arlene Foster said the talks failed due to disagreements with Sinn Féin about legislation for the Irish language. Photo/Paul McErlane
Edward Henry Carson, Baron Carson, PC, PC (Ire), KC (9 February 1854 – 22 October 1935), from 1900 to 1921 known as Sir Edward Carson, was an Irish unionist politician, barrister and judge. From Dublin, he became the leader of the Irish Unionist Alliance and Ulster Unionist Party between 1910 and 1921, held numerous positions in the Cabinet of the United Kingdom and served as a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary. He was one of the few people not a monarch to receive a British state funeral. Historian John Brown says that "His larger than life-size statue, erected in his own lifetime in front of the Northern Ireland parliament at Stormont, symbolizes the widely held perception that Northern Ireland is Carson's creation."
