Sir Kenneth Bloomfield, one of the most distinguished civil servants in Northern Ireland’s history, has died at the age of 94.
After retiring from full-time work, he remained committed to public service and took on roles helping victims of violence and their families.
His career as a civil servant started during the Stormont Parliament in the 1950s.
He later became cabinet secretary to the short-lived 1974 power-sharing executive and head of the Northern Ireland Civil Service from 1984 to 1991.
