Description: | These 'Easter Lilies' were purchased at Mandys, an Irish shop in Willesden, in 1991. The Easter Lily commemorates the Easter Rising in Dublin in 1916. The split between Official and Provisional Sinn Fein in the early 1970s saw the introduction of 2 different types of Easter Lily, a sticky-backed type and a pin-on type. The two groups became known as 'stickies' and 'pinnies'. However, these days there is no party political significance in the kind of badge worn. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Brent Museum | Rights holder: | Brent Museum | Subjects: | Communities | Temporal: | 1991 | Source: | Brent Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
