This year the Belfast rally and parade in celebration of International Women’s Day was held on Saturday 9th March.
Organised by Reclaim the Agenda, a coalition of feminists, youth LGBTQ+ and community organisations, the theme was Peace and Courage.
Hundreds attended the event, meeting at Writers’ Square and walking to City Hall where speakers, including peace campaigners from Northern Ireland, Gaza and Afghanistan spoke to the crowd.
The usual Saturday in Belfast. Chilly with showers – looking forward to Spring
The Lagan originates at Slieve Croob in County Down and runs 53.5 miles to Belfast where it enters Belfast Lough.

There’s talk that the Apple shop in Victoria Square may be moving to larger premises in 2024.
Its certainly always busy.
Situated in the grounds of Botanic Gardens, the Ulster Museum has around 8000 square metres of display space.
Well worth a visit.
Another Saturday in Belfast and the sun came out.
These photographs are of a Right to Food Rally at the City Hall on 23rd September. The rally was to mark Right to Food Week and joined campaigners in London and Liverpool.
The event was organised by Foodstock founder, SDLP Councillor, Paul Doherty.
Photography is about the light. Imagine these photographs on an overcast day, without the backlight and shadows. They simply wouldn’t have the same impact.
I often go to Belfast on Saturday. The walking keeps me fit and I get the opportunity to take photographs, mainly for licencing.
These images were taken with a Fuji X100. The original Fuji X 100 – 12 megapixels and a 23mm lens (equivalent to about 35mm full frame). They’re up to the MK V now.
I bought my Fuji in April 2012 – I checked. I knew I’d had it for a while but I didn’t expect it to have been 11 years.
Still going strong and I love using it.
I took this photograph of Samson and Goliath some years ago and I may have included it previously. The old brick wall at the right is no longer there and sadly the blue sky has been missing these past few weeks.
This is an improved version with the sky extended at the top of the image, a touch of red removed and it has been sharpened in Topaz.
