A tribute to late musician Sinéad O’Connor has been unveiled on Bray Head in County Wicklow, Ireland, close to the late singer’s home.
The Grammy-winner died, aged 56, at her home in south-east London on July 26.
Scores of tributes and memorial events have since taken place for the star. And on Sunday, a huge tribute that reads “ÉIRE ð¤ SINÉAD” in 30-foot tall letters was installed on Bray Head. Eire means Ireland in Irish.
The location is close to O’Connor’s former seafront home in Bray and is also directly above a World War Two “ÉIRE” navigational landmark. It was rediscovered after wildfire scorched the ground in 2018.
Dublin-based creative agency The Tenth Man’s executive creative director Richard Seabrooke - who was behind the move - said: “So much has been said about Sinéad since her recent passing, I’m not sure what is left to say.
“We just wanted to take the opportunity to mark the moment with a bold statement that symbolises what she meant to this little country of ours.”
The funeral of the late singer will be held on Tuesday.
People have been invited to line the Co. Wicklow seafront where she used to live as a “last goodbye”.
The cortege is to travel along the seafront in Bray, starting at the Harbour Bar and continuing to the other end of the Strand Road, before continuing on to a private burial.
It will pass by her former home on the Strand Road, Montebello, where she lived for 15 years and where people have been leaving flowers since her death.
A statement issued on Sunday on behalf of O’Connor’s family encouraged people to say a “last goodbye” to the singer.
“Sinead loved living in Bray and the people in it,” a statement said.
“With this procession, her family would like to acknowledge the outpouring of love for her from the people of Co Wicklow and beyond, since she left last week to go to another place.
“The Gardai have asked that people gather, if they would like to say a last goodbye to the singer, from 10.30am on Tuesday along the Bray seafront.”
O’Connor was found unresponsive by police at her south-east London home in late July.
The news of her death sparked a host of tributes from fans and famous artists from across the world, including Russell Crowe, Annie Lennox, Cyndi Lauper and Bob Geldof.
Several gatherings have also been held in the days since O’Connor’s death in Dublin, Belfast and London, where members of the public paid tribute to her legacy as a musician and activist.
