Limited Edition "Remember Drumcree" Signed Print
By Gladys Fletcher
Born and raised outside Keady, Co. Armagh during the turbulent years of the Northern Ireland Conflict, Gladys Fletcher's life was changed forever on 31st August 1975, when her father, Joseph Reid, was murdered at the front door of the family home by the Provisional IRA. Joe was a 46-year-old husband, father of five, farmer, and a part-time UDR CGC Lance-Corporal. More than fifty years later, the pain of that loss continues to be felt by those who loved him.
Following her retirement, Gladys rediscovered her passion for painting. What began with landscapes and still life evolved into a powerful personal journey, capturing memories of the Loyal Orders, the Northern Ireland Troubles, and the landmarks of her adopted home in Belfast. Through every brushstroke, she preserves history, honours the past, and shares her own remarkable journey of healing.
Thousands of Orangemen and loyalist supporters converged at Drumcree Parish Church, establishing a tense, long term protest camp behind massive police and British army security barriers. The Orange Order still demands to march its historical route along the Garvaghy Road - A route marched since 1807.
