This “King Billy” mural is in Fountain Street, Londonderry, as seen through one of the cannon-holes in the city’s walls.

The central imagery is classic, with William III pointing the way with his sword, riding a white horse stepping onto the banks of the Boyne. The frame includes the coat of arms of Londonderry in the middle of the phrase “In God our trust”. And the whole thing takes up only a small part of the wall, with a mount painted in blue at the bottom to act as a stand.
