Dolours Price – A Photographic Memoire

Dolours Price and Brendan Hughes, both participants in the Belfast Project, pictured, I estimate, around 1997-1998

Dolours was a beauty, as this photo testifies. I guess it was shot in the mid 1990’s but I don’t know.

Dolours as she appeared on the CBS news show in the autumn of 2012. When a friend saw the programme, he was shocked by her appearance. “She’s getting ready to die”, he said.

Dolours, pictured during her fateful interview with the Irish News in February 2010. I wonder how soundly sleep the journalists involved in this shameful episode?

Marian Price and Dolours Price photographed outside Downing Street. Date unknown but the pair would return to London in 1973 in very different circumstances, ferrying three car bombs to the city centre.

People could never spell her name correctly. Dolours, aptly in the circumstances, was a name that signified sorrow. (Pic by Joe Graham)

Again undated, but I would guess this was taken around the time of the student civil rights movement.

In her red hair phase, late 1990’s. Joe Graham also took this pic. She suited red hair.

This photo gives an idea of the large crowd that defied the pouring rain to accompany Dolours on her final journey.
