"Hauntings" a Statue of a World War One Soldier brought to St Stephen's Green photographed yesterday. The second picture added to show more clearly how it was made.
It was created by Slovakian artist Martin Galbavy and constructed by Chris Hannam at Dorset Forge and Fabrication. The sculpture was made from pieces of scrap metal.
Crowds have gathered at St Stephens Green for a ceremony to mark the removal of the Hauntings Soldier statue.
Some brought medals, photos and other memorabilia from relatives who served in World War One.
The statue which represents a soldier returning from World War One is being moved to its next exhibition location.
Sabyna Purcell, who organised the event, said the reaction to the statue while it has been on display has been massive, with hundreds, and even thousands, of people coming to see it every day.
The ceremony started with Waltzing Matilda and then heard from relatives of people who served in the war.
They called out their relatives names, and in some cases told of their regiments and war experiences.
Fingal County Councillor Cathal Boland recited the Tom Kettle poem "For my daughter".
The Irish Defence Forces were represented by a piper who played Amazing Grace.
He was followed by a bugler who played ?The Last Post? as the sun set over St Stephens Green.
These pictures were taken just afterwards.
