A close up image detailing the shamrocks decorating the chapel memorialising the assassinated American President John F. Kennedy in St. Catherine of Sienna Roman Catholic church, central Birmingham. The church stands near Digbeth and Highgate, areas of central Birmingham which saw substantial Irish settlement in the 19th and 20th Centuries. The church was built in the mid-1960s shortly after Kennedy (a Roman Catholic of Irish descent himself) was assassinated. The chapel forms part of the community’s memorial to him.
