King William portrait to replace grim reaper in Northern Ireland town
A notorious wall mural in Belfast - showing a loyalist paramilitary - is to be replaced by a portrait of King William of Orange.
The mural is nicknamed "The Grim Reaper".
It was painted 10 years ago on a gable wall in Tavanagh Street in the mainly Protestant Village area of the city.
Its £18,000 replacement is part of a £3m community "reimaging" scheme.
Negotiations on the repainting began five years ago with the loyalist paramilitary Ulster Defence Association (UDA).
