Belfast, 1984, young lads continuing to play hurling despite the fact that British gunmen are patrolling their street. A picture that captures the spirit of Irish resistance.
Pat Smullen was a wonderful jockey and a tremendous ambassador for racing in and out of the saddle.
Here's his proudest moment as a rider, when winning the 2016 Derby at Epsom aboard Harzand in the silks of the Aga Khan for trainer Dermot Weld.
Champions 🎉

A big thanks to all volunteers who have joristown in great shape for feile. Looking forward to meeting @WatergrasshillG@McQuillanGAC next Friday afternoon.
It doesn’t matter what happens on the track at the Curragh today, there won’t be a highlight to beat seeing Pat Smullen at the races looking so well and being so positive. There was never any doubt that he was going to meet his illness head on and fight it. #legend https://t.co/X7sHkuXwv7
