    Reactions to the death of Bobby Sands in Europe.

    • In Milan, 5,000 students burned the Union Flag and shouted "Freedom for Ulster" during a march.
    • In Ghent, students invaded the British Consulate.
    • In Paris, thousands marched behind huge portraits of Sands, to chants of 'The IRA will conquer'.
    • In Oslo, demonstrators threw a balloon filled with tomato sauce at Elizabeth II, the Queen of the United
    Kingdom.

    • In the Soviet Union, Pravda described it as 'another tragic page in the grim chronicle of oppression, discrimination, terror and violence' in Ireland.
    • In France, many towns and cities have streets named after Sands. Examples include Nantes, St Etienne, Le Mans Vierzon and St Denis.
    • In the Republic of Ireland, his death led to riots and bus burning. In Dublin, the famous Moore Street market closed for the day of Sands funeral, IRA members allegedly unsuccessfully attempted to coerce shopkeepers into closing for a national day of mourning. On 14 May the Dáil made no expression of support.
    • Some publications such as the Soviet Pravda took a positive view of Sands, whilst others, such as the West German newspaper Die Welt, took a negative view.
    • In Liverpool, England, a march in support of Sands took place from Upper Parliament Street to the Pier Head, chanting "Bobby Sands MP". It was besieged by enraged Liverpool Orange Lodge members along the whole route. The marchers were trapped between the Mersey and the Lodge members.

    what do Sevco have to do with Celtic? You seem to spend most of your time on that thread.

    Just walked to the shop and seen a lot of graffiti making nasty remarks about Bobby, then looked up and seen this on the mountainside. I live in a very protestant area and you can't miss it.

    RIP Bobby Sands, Francis Hughes, Raymond McCreesh, Patsy O'Hara, Joe McDonnell, Martin Hurson, Kevin Lynch, Kieran Doherty, Thomas McElwee and Micheal Devine.
