One of the men behind the world famous Bogside murals has passed away.

William Kelly was a member of the internationally renowned Bogside Artists alongside his brother Tom and friend Kevin Hasson.

Named 'The People's Gallery' the twelve murals depict scenes from the city's past including Bloody Sunday and the Battle of the Bogside as well as several showing images of peace.

The trio have travelled the world for exhibitions and commissions, including creating murals at the Smithsonian in Washington DC.

Mr Kelly passed away on Tuesday morning, his funeral is to be held on Friday.
