Here are three from Mersey Street, east Belfast.
Above, a recruitment tarp for the Blues And Royals flute band (Fb).
Below, (and on the wall above the flute band’s tarp) a NI Centenary board using the St Patrick’s saltire in the background. The saltire is an Anglo symbol of Ireland and was included in the Union Flag when the union was between Britain and Ireland and thus – like the word “Ulster” – has been reduced to signifying Northern Ireland after partition.
Last, street-art on the bridge over Conn’s Water.
