Ulster Unionist leader Robin Swann has called for a working agreement with nationalists over

Brexit during his party's annual conference speech in Armagh. 

He said a hard border wasn't an option during free trade negotiations.

Mr Swann also warned there was a real danger of returning to the politics of the past.

He says politics has changed in Northern Ireland, across Europe and around the globe.

It was the Ulster Unionist's first party conference with Mr Swann as leader.

He thanked key members of the party for their help in fighting recent difficult Assembly and Westminster elections. 

He said the United Kingdom was the only place for a successful Northern Ireland.
