The Petrol Bomber Paddy Coyle

Description

THE FACE behind one of the most chilling images of the Northern Ireland ‘Troubles’ has passed away.

Paddy Coyle was 13 years old when he was pictured at a riot during the Battle of the Bogside in August 1969.

The image, showed the schoolboy in a World War II-era gas mask and holding a petrol bomb during violent clashes between Republican residents and the Royal Ulster Constabulary and local Unionists.

Taken by award-winning photographer Clive Limpkin, who passed away earlier this year, the chilling image became one of the most famous photographs of the civil unrest in Northern Ireland, and is acknowledged as a defining image of the era.
