FOR those of us living in the north of Ireland the English Queen Elizabeth has been omnipresent in our lives for a long time. From our postage stamps, coins and bank notes to the names of our public buildings. In Belfast there are two bridges named after English queens. The Queen’s Bridge was opened in 1849 and is named after Victoria. The Queen Elizabeth Bridge is named after the woman who has just died. It was opened in 1966. Interestingly, there was a row among unionists in Belfast City Council who wanted to name it after unionist leader Edward Carson whose statue stands in front of Parliament Buildings at Stormont. There is also Royal Avenue and the Royal Victoria Hospital and countless other thoroughfares named after British Royals. There is Queen’s University and the Albert Clock, named after Victoria’s other half.
