“He put his head over the parapet and there are people alive today who wouldn’t have been alive if he hadn’t done what he did,” Beattie told BBC NI’s Good Morning Ulster.
“What price can you put on peace and what price can you put on a life? What David did was the right thing. I think he made the right decisions.
“He believed in peace, he believed he had an opportunity and he wanted to take advantage of that opportunity. He set us on a path that was the right direction to go.
“His legacy is about bringing peace to Northern Ireland, something we never thought we would get to.
“My thoughts are truly with Lady Trimble today and with all the family.”
