Five images of a “Slán Abhaıle” mural, with British soldiers trooping back towards London, being painted on the back of Free Derry Corner, on Lecky Road, Derry. The piece is by Robert Ballagh, taking a famous photograph of British forces in the Falklands marching (“yomping”) towards Port Stanley and placing it in a circle (to suggest a closing eye, perhaps) below tricoloured party balloons. For the original photograph, see the IWM.
The image was also produced in the Short Strand (east Belfast), in Ardoyne, north Belfast, above the Sınn Féın offices/Sıopa Na hEalaíne in west Belfast, in Shantallow (Derry), and in Letterkenny.
