Free Derry Corner has been an icon of the Civil Rights struggle in Derry for more than thirty years. The original slogan "You Are Now Entering Free Derry" was painted on the end gable wall of a terrace of houses. Although the houses were demolished decades ago, the "Free Derry Corner Wall" was retained and has become a focal point for political activity in the Bogside area of Derry city.

At midnight last night Derry anti-War activists dapped the wall in black to mark the visit of George Bush to Northern Ireland and to mourn for the people killed in his name in Iraq.

The images here show the draping in progress.

An earlier story here reported how the message on the wall was modified to tell Bush that he was not welcome.

Two international war criminals are planning to meet in Belfast. With the blood of people from at least three nations still fresh on their hands they have come here to talk of peace and pose for cameras.

Derry anti-war campaigners have rejected this hypocrisy.
