A Belfast mural depicting a lyric from the punk anthem Teenage Kicks, by The Undertones, is back in east Belfast.

The mural first appeared in 2004 to mark the death of BBC radio host John Peel, who championed the band.

It was removed by Stormont's Department of Social Development in 2013 when work began to regenerate the area.

The new version was designed by young people from the Short Strand and the lower Newtownards Road areas.

But some are disappointed the replacement mural does not include John Peel's name, which formed part of the original art work.
