An old friend returns to Dublin

Dublin's Harry Street will be heaving on Thursday morning to see the unveiling of the reinstated Phil Lynott statue.

It's been sorely missed since it was damaged by a couple of eejits back in May.

But at 11am on Thursday, they will take the wrapping off Philo in front of his ma, Philomena, who said "The old town just hasn't been the same without him".

Well done to Cast Bronze Foundry in Dublin for their work on the piece.
