Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JREBR4 - Taken at Bloomfield Road in Blackpool, Lancashire, this editorial photograph shows a large painted mural of Jimmy Armfield, formally James Christopher Armfield, on the gable wall beside The Armfield Club close to Blackpool FC's Bloomfield Road stadium. The artwork shows Armfield in Blackpool's famous tangerine shirt, with the Bloomfield Road and FY1 6JJ wording included in the mural design and The Armfield Club visible on the adjoining building. Armfield is one of the defining figures in Blackpool football history: a one-club player, England international right back, 1966 World Cup squad member, later manager, broadcaster and widely respected football voice. The image is valuable for editorial use because it connects street art, football heritage, local identity and fan-led commemoration in one clearly recognisable Blackpool location. It can illustrate stories about Blackpool FC, Bloomfield Road, football supporters' culture, sporting murals, public art, Lancashire seaside towns, football nostalgia, post-war English football and the way clubs remember local heroes outside the formal stadium environment. The Armfield Club was created by Blackpool supporters and sits close to the ground, making the mural part of the matchday landscape for fans walking through the Bloomfield Road area. The surrounding street, parked car, railings, club signage and grey seaside sky give the photograph a documentary feel rather than a polished publicity look. For picture buyers, the readable club sign, named mural subject, Blackpool colours and stadium context make it suitable for news features, travel pieces, sports history, supporter culture, mural art, community heritage, town regeneration and football anniversary coverage. The image also works as a wider visual reference for how football clubs and fan communities use walls, statues and social clubs to turn sporting memory into a visible part of everyday urban life.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M84J99 - The Garden of Remembrance (Irish: An GairdÃn Cuimhneacháin) is a memorial garden in Dublin dedicated to the memory of all those who gave their lives in the cause of Irish Freedom. It is located in the northern fifth of the former Rotunda Gardens in Parnell Square, a Georgian square at the northern end of O'Connell Street. The garden was opened by Eamon de Valera during the semicentennial of the Easter Rising in 1966
The Garden commemorates freedom fighters from various uprisings, including:
the 1798 rebellion of the Society of United Irishmen
the 1803 rebellion of Robert Emmet
the 1848 rebellion of Young Ireland
the 1867 rising of the Fenian Brotherhood
the 1916 Easter Rising of the Irish Volunteers and the Irish Citizen Army
the 1919“21 Irish War of Independence of the Irish Republican Army
The site of the Garden is where the Irish Volunteers were founded in 1913, and where several leaders of the 1916 Rising were held overnight before being taken to Kilmainham Gaol. President Éamon de Valera opened the Garden in 1966 on the fiftieth anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising, in which he had been a commander
The Garden was designed by Dáithà Hanly. It is in the form of a sunken cruciform water-feature. Its focal point is a statue of the Children of Lir by OisÃn Kelly, symbolising rebirth and resurrection, added in 1971, cast in the Ferdinando Marinelli Artistic Foundry of Florence, Italy.
In 1976, a contest was held to find a poem which could express the appreciation and inspiration of this struggle for freedom. The winner was Dublin born author Liam Mac UistÃn, whose poem We Saw a Vision, an aisling style poem, is written in Irish, French, and English on the stone wall of the monument. The aisling (vision) form was used in eighteenth-century poems longing for an end to Ireland's miserable condition.
