“In memory of our fallen comrades Hugh McVeigh, Andy Craig, Brian (Barney) O’Raw, 3rd battalion Ballybeen. ‘Gone but not forgotten’ Quis separabit.” Banff Walk/Drumadoon Drive, Ballybeen, Belfast.
“Absent Friends:
The time has come to say goodnight
for every road must end,
to the ones who care and they’re always there
our very special friends.
And when it’s time for us to go
and our long journey ends,
you’ll never be alone you see
you’ll be with absent friends
Let’s raise a glass to absent friends
for every road must end,
You’ll always be there in our hearts
our special absent friends”
“Sadly missed along life’s way/Quietly missed every day,/No longer in our life to share/but in our hearts, you’re always there”
“Resting where no shadows fall/In peaceful sleep they await us all,/friends will link the broken chain/When one by one we meet again.”

David Trimble was leader of the UUP and first First Minister of the new Assembly. This Ballybeen graffiti might date back to that period (1998-2005), as the issue of IRA decommissioning led to suspensions of the parliament and Trimble’s own (temporary) stepping-down. Ballybeen Square, Belfast.

Sport- and community-orientated mural on Lecky Road, Derry, in the Brandywell.
“Bally Mór” perhaps refers to the local soccer club Ballymoor, and (further back) to the townland of Eudhan-Baile-Mór (Edenballymore), though this does not include the modern-day Brandywell.
