“But death is not easily escaped from by anyone: all of us with souls, earth-dwellers and children of men, must make our way to a destination already ordained where the body, after the banqueting, sleeps on its deathbed.” Remembering Seamus Heaney, born on this day 85 years ago.

There was a great gathering for the unveiling last night and I was delighted to have the chance to chat with you Colin. I love ‘The 71’ - another masterpiece in the Hastings art collection. Europa Hotel Belfast
