State Visit to the UK and Symbolic Diplomacy

Michael D Higgins bows out of his two term presidency next month.

For some, he leaves a national treasure who spoke from his head and his heart and who, along with his wife Sabina, made the Áras a house of welcome and inclusion.

For others, he was a head of state who sometimes pushed too vigorously against the boundaries of his office. But everyone loved his Bernese Mountain dogs.

In this final episode of Think You Know...The Presidents?, our dynamic duo, Lise Hand and Flor Mac Carthy take us through the years of 2011 to the present day and look at the life and times of Michael D Higgins.
