Ahead of BillClinton visiting Londonderry, MichaelJMcB takes a look at the former US president's connection with the city
Presidents of the United States are famous the world over, but only one can lay claim to featuring in Bafta-nominated comedy, Derry Girls.
But unlike those attending in real life, the Derry Girls were also hoping to try and befriend Mr Clinton's daughter, Chelsea, who would later feature in a cameo role in the last ever episode of the show.
In 2010, the former president met Northern Ireland's then first and deputy first ministers Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness during a short visit designed to support the peace process and promote economic growth.
