Some photographs showing subjects connected with Northern Ireland’s participation in the Euro 2016 football competition.
One of the prominent features is the display, on advertising hoardings, of images of the players – officially described by the IFA as “The billboards feature iconic images of the 30 players hoping to be on the plane to France and are made up of a mosaic of thousands of photographs, sent in by supporters. With representatives from every county in Northern Ireland selected in the extended squad, the billboards also feature the name of the player’s home town. There are also billboards for those players who qualify to play for the country through ancestry. Eye-catching images of important squad members such as Jamie Ward, Oliver Norwood and Conor Washington will be displayed in sites across Belfast.”
