Line of Duty: Martin Compston spotted posing with AC-12 sign in Duke of York Belfast

Line of Duty actor Martin Compston has visited the plaques dedicated to him and his co-stars in a popular Belfast bar.

The Scottish star, who portrays DI Steve Arnott in the hit police drama, popped into the Duke of York in the Cathedral Quarter on his recent visit to Northern Ireland to pose with his 'Reserved for Ac-12' sign.

The Duke shared the photo online with the caption "Welcome back to Belfast, there’s always a space for AC-12".

Ahead of its reopening after the pandemic in May 2021, the Duke of York introduced two new signs in tribute to Martin Compson and Vicky McClure's characters in the show.

After many fans worried about why NI's own Adrian Dunbar wasn't reserved a spot but a few days later, the pub introduced a third gold sign reading "Jesus, Mary and Joesph and the wee donkey, there's always room at this inn for the gaffer. Reserved for Superintendent Ted Hastings".

Alongside stopping in for a pint in the city, Compston has also been spotted on a visit to Holywood to meet with local comedian Shane Todd.

Shane shared a photo of himself with Compston and fellow Scotsman Gordon Smart who Martin co-hosts the 'Restless Natives' podcast with.

Posing beside the famous Maypole in the town centre, Shane revealed that he recorded an episode of their podcast while they also are set to feature on his show Tea With Me.
