A smiling Bobby Sands on the side of the Sınn Féın offices on the Falls Road, (also the west Belfast office of An Phoblacht/Republican News), with his famous statement that “Everyone, republican or otherwise, has his [here: “his/her”] own [particular] part to play” [Diary, March 14th, 1981] (and the lark with its “spirit of freedom“).

This version was painted by Mo Chara in 1989, and an image of Sands has been on the wall continuously since then.
