Another celebration of the 300th anniversary of the Battle Of The Boyne in 1690 – shown on the left by King William III on his steed — preceded in 1688 by the relief of the “Londonderry under siege” – shown here by the coat of arms of the city and the slogan “No surrender”.

King William III is flanked by foot soldiers from 1690 and 1990. “We the people of Sandy Row remember with pride the 300th anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne. No surrender. Signed, UFF.” With a sketch of a UDA emblem to the right.

Here is the top half of a mural in Berwick Road/Paráid An Ardghleanna. The board at the top reproduces a 1972 postcard entitled Easter with two women – on the left a young woman (Ireland in flames, perhaps suggesting the Rising) and on the right, an old woman (Mother Ireland?) – watching over a prisoner by the light from a prison window. (Image #39 in Belinda Loftus’s 1982 dissertation Images In Conflict.)

The bottom (with quotes from Connolly and Pearse) was seen in the 1989 image An Attitude Of Revolt.
