Footage of a woman screaming 'no surrender' while peering through the broken glass of doors at city hall became a defining image of the upheaval which made global headlines.

On the night of December 3 2012, crowds of angered loyalists took to the streets as councillors voted to no longer fly the flag from city hall 365 days a year.

Footage of a woman screaming "no surrender" while peering through the broken glass of doors at city hall became a defining image of the upheaval which made global headlines. The former deputy lord mayor, who attends the protest with his 75-year-old wife Ann, said that every week tourists and passers-by ask the group for photographs and selfies.
