Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK

The Falls Road is in the heart of Republican Belfast. So is Kevin Lynch, Irish National Liberation Army volunteer, who died in 1981 on a hunger strike in prison. His image and his flag were paraded onto the streets by the West Belfast Workers Party in a show of support for the causes for which he died. (To Irish workers, it's a plough, not the 'big dipper.')
