It is now 103 years since the inception of the Ulster Unionist Party with the formation of the Ulster Unionist Council in 1905.

"100 years ago we took a stand for the Union. We pledge ourselves today to maintain that stand. This party faced off the threat of Home Rule. We created Northern Ireland instead. We built it up. We nurtured it. Others laid it low. We built it up again. Our work and the risks we took paid off for society. And for Unionism."
(David Trimble, speaking at the Centenary Celebrations)
