Councillor Tracy Kelly

DUP Councillor for the Botanic DEA

[Emma Little-Pengelly BL @little_pengelly]

I know all are horrified about what has happened. I know so many are angry and there are those who want to register a protest.

This is an appeal to act in an entirely peaceful way.
Violence does not advance any cause, it damages it. Destroying things within your own community benefits no one. Taking frustration at the evil actions of a person out on those who had no part in it is utterly wrong.

Safety is at the heart of so much of the concern. Engaging in violence risks your own safety, that of others and fundamentally does any cause or campaign to be heard terrible disservice and damage.

If your young ones are out please, please contact them and get them home safe. There will inevitably be arrests for violence, those engaging in disorder will be recorded and follow up arrests and prosecutions will follow. This is life-changing for young people - get them home and away from danger if you can.

Nothing but respect to the members of the public who intervened last night. Heroes who took a risk to defend a member of their community. Respect.

I have just watched and am absolutely sickened at the video circulating SM

Thoughts with the victim and his family, must have been so frightening

This is not acceptable in any civilised society, people need answers & assurances their community is safe!

[Councillor Tracy Kelly @Tracybelfast1]

@richardtgarland All good 👌🏻 thank you!

Thank you!

[Councillor Tracy Kelly @Tracybelfast1]

The handover is very daunting moment and you feel huge pressure taking in such an important role in our wonderful City!

I handed over the chain and I wished Rois-Maire well and good luck!❤️

Other LM’s will agree it’s a nerve wracking night a little reassurance means a lot!

[The Royal Family @RoyalFamily]

Our very special guests! 🧁☕️

The Queen has hosted a tea party for children supported by Dreams and Wishes, a charity dedicated to helping seriously ill children and their families build precious memories.

🫖🥪 After travelling by horse-drawn carriage from The Royal Mews, the children sat down to sandwiches and cakes with Her Majesty at Clarence House.

The Queen’s Equerry, Major Treasure, also set the children to task with a treasure hunt… leading to the stash of chocolate coins hidden under the Grenadier Guards’ hats! 💂🪎

Dreams and Wishes was established in 2011 and is entirely volunteer-run, with a dedicated team committed to making every child’s wish a reality.
