West Belfast gets World Cup fever

In celebration of the 2010 World cup, local communities in West Belfast have got into the spirit of things by displaying a flag from one of the 32 competing nations flags on their houses.
Off the Springfield road is Iris Mews which was first to come to the media's attention.

However, another community in the St James road area of West Belfast has been planning the celebrations over the last 8 weeks. Besides donning each of the houses with the national flags of the competing nations, each resident had to where their national dress of the country selected. They then hired an open-top-bus and drove around West Belfast. I even heard that some residents were wearing “national dresses!"
