F. Kennedy Memorial in Birmingham, England, is a memorial mosaic mural to John F. Kennedy, by Kenneth Budd.[1] The mosaic, commissioned by Birmingham's Irish community,[2] and funded by public subscription,[1] was constructed in panels, at Budd's company in south London, Kenneth Budd and Associates.[2] Original locationThe mosaic was erected on St Chad's Circus (at approx {{Coord|52.485451|-1.900173|region:GB-BIR_type:landmark|display=inline}}), outside the City's Roman Catholic St Chad's Cathedral, in July 1968, at a cost of £5,000.[1] When the road system was redeveloped in 2007 the mosaic was demolished. Key features, including the heads of some of the main figures, were retrieved and retained by Kenneth Budd's son Oliver.[3][4] Re-creationIn 2012 it was re-created using new materials.[5] The new mosaic was erected in January 2013, in the city's Irish Quarter, on Floodgate Street in Digbeth,[6] in reworked form, including the controversial[7] addition of a new face, that of former Lord Mayor of Birmingham Mike Nangle, the city's first Irish Lord Mayor.[7] The work was overseen by Budd's son, Oliver,[1][8] who worked from his father's original drawings.[4] The retained sections were not used as the colours had faded and would not match the new Smalti mosiac tiles.[4] A formal unveiling took place on 23 February 2013.[9] CompositionFeatured alongside Kennedy in the mosaic are his brother Teddy,[10] the Seal of the President of the United States (using real gold),[11] Martin Luther King,[12] American policemen and other figures. TextThe text gives an incorrect date of 1960, the year he was elected, for the start of his presidency, when he was actually president from January 1961. This inaccuracy was also present in the original creation.[13] The original mosaic had wording at either side. The wording on the right[14] said (all in upper case): There are no white or coloured signs on the grave- yards of battle The recreated mosaic has different words. On the left (again, all in upper case): In tribute to John F Kennedy President of the United States 1960-3 and to the right: A man may die nations may rise and fall but an idea lives on References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/local-news/planning-application-for-jfk-memorial-to-be-moved-163687|title=Planning application for JFK memorial to be moved to Digbeth is submitted - Birmingham Mail|last=Authi|first=Jasbir|date=2011-10-20|work=Birmingham Mail|accessdate=24 January 2013}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.britishpathe.com/video/kennedy-mosaic-mural|title=KENNEDY MOSAIC MURAL|publisher=British Pathé|accessdate=24 January 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/local-news/olivers-a-real-chip-off-the-old-block-23537|title=Oliver's a real chip off the old block|last=Elkes|first=Neil|date=2006-06-19|work=Birmingham Mail|accessdate=27 November 2013}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web|last=Budd|first=Oliver|date=2012-01-01|title=Meanwhile, Back to JFK|url=http://www.buddmosaic.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/meanwhile-back-to-jfk.html|accessdate=2 December 2013}} 5. ^Budd, Oliver (2012-01-01).
