The orange lily makes a rare appearance in a paramilitary mural. The hooded gunmen are from the UFF/UDA. Volunteer Stephen “Benson” Kingsberry is remembered in the panel towards the back of the house. He died from consuming tainted ecstasy (perhaps distributed by the UVF). He was included in the roll of honour in Lemberg Street.

The 36th Division East Belfast regimental flag and the flag of the YCV, rather than of the Ulster Volunteers, flank a modified crest of the Division – the letters “EBPB” have replaced a harp and crown. “Our message is simple: Where our music is welcome we will play it loud; where our music is challenged we will play it louder.” “In memory of John Boyd Richard Cowan Steven Hamill. Always remembers by East Belfast Protestant Boys FB.” (Fb | tw)
