Knockagh Monument/Northern Ireland
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
For a first upload to AirVuz, brand-new contributor flying_tourists20 brings us this excellent drone video of an important war memorial in Northern Ireland. The Knockagh Monument stands atop its namesake hill in County Antrim, a bit north of Belfast. The largest war memorial in Northern Ireland, the monument was completed in 1936. It was dedicated to the men of County Antrim who fell during the Great War, a conflict in which the Ulster counties sustained immense losses. It's now dedicated to those who fell in both World Wars.

The site is 390m (1230 feet) above sea level[1] and is the largest war memorial in Northern Ireland.[1] The monument is a 110-foot (34 m)-high basalt obelisk and is a replica of the Wellington Monument in Phoenix Park, Dublin, although is exactly half the height.[1] The Monument's inscription was adapted from the hymn “O Valiant Hearts" by John S. Arkwright. It reads: “NOBLY YOU FOUGHT, YOUR KNIGHTLY VIRTUE PROVED YOUR MEMORY HALLOWED IN THE LAND YOU LOVED.” Music : https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UC...
