Description

A photograph of the mural painted in 2008 to honour the late David Ervine. Ervine, a prominent protestant unionist, was a member of the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) and leader of the Progressive Unionist Party (PUP). Ervine was a key figure in the loyalist ceasefire of 1994, a predecessor of the Good Friday Agreement of 1998.

The mural depicts David Ervine, and displays the famous quote, "Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it." There is a sculpture of an empty chair by bronze artist Ross Wilson placed in front of the mural.
