Not Is Sorrow But In Pride

Extramural Activity

Jun 2

"In honour of the men and women from Ballyclare and surrounding areas who gave their life in war. 'They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old, age shall not weary them nor the years condemn, at the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them'. Lest we forget." With emblems of the Royal British Legion (left), Navy and Merchant Navy (right), and a separate stone for the UDR "When danger threatened, some made the supreme sacrifice".

The main obelisk is dedicated "in the honoured memory of those men from Ballyclare & District who gave their lives for King and country in the Great War 1914-1918, 1939-1945. 'Look not on this in sorrow but in pride and may ye live as nobly as they died."

The remaining image shows the info board describing two aeroplane crashes around Big Collin Mountain, in which eleven airmen died while on training flights, one the result of an engine fire, the other crashed into the side of the mountain.

Ballyclare War Memorial Park, Ballyclare Road, Ballyclare. There are also separate murals in Erskine Park to the locals who died in WWI and in WWII.

Summer’s Blood

Extramural Activity

Jun 2

The inspiration for this new street art by emic (ig | web) – perhaps in both pose and pallette – was Seamus Heaney's poem 'Blackberry Picking' (Derry Journal). A young person appears to be searching intently: "You ate that first one and its flesh was sweet/Like thickened wine: summer's blood was in it/Leaving stains upon the tongue and lust for/Picking." (Full poem)

The official title is "Younger Days"; in Creggan, Derry, for Gasyard Féile; with support from the Communities In Transition programme.

Replaces Creggan 75.
