Outgoing First Minister, Arlene Foster, was in good spirits as she took part in the first official engagement on the last day of her time in office.

Having been replaced as leader of the DUP by Edwin Poots, who in turn nominated MLA Paul Givan for the First Minister post, Mrs. Foster five year tenure as leader and First Minister is to come to an end today, Friday, June 11.

The British-Irish Council Summit at the Lough Erne Resort, hosted by Mrs. Foster and Deputy First Minister, Michelle O'Neill, brought together representatives from the Irish and UK Governments, the First Ministers of Scotland and Wales and representatives from the Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey.

As those in attendance came out for the group photo Mrs. Foster joked about being "Norman No Mates" when nobody stood beside her but when asked by the BBC's Gareth Gordon in the press conference is that how she felt she brushed it off and said she had the backing of all at the summit.

Mrs. Foster said finishing her political career in Fermanagh was fitting as it "absolutely encapsulated the totality of relationships".

She then broke out into a short song as she sang a snippet from Frank Sinatra's 'That's Life' which brought plenty of laughter and applause from those present.

When asked by The Impartial Reporter what her emotions were on her final day as First Minister and how would she sum up her political career, Mrs. Foster did not give too much away replying: "I’m feeling incredibly proud today that everybody is able to see my home county at its best.

"I have always been proud of Fermanagh and I will continue to be and will continue to be an advocate for those who need me to do that.

"I suppose in terms of summing up, I will do that all on Monday, I'm sure when I speak to the Assembly and I am looking forward to doing that. As I say the overwhelming emotion today is pride."
