J. F. Kennedy Memorial, Birmingham, Mosaic memorial in Deritend, Birmingham, United Kingdom.
The mosaic memorial spans 4.5 meters in height and 14 meters in width, featuring intricate tile work depicting scenes from Kennedy's presidency.
Commissioned by Birmingham's Irish community in 1968, the original memorial stood at St Chad's Circus until 2007 when construction required its relocation.
The memorial contains images of notable figures including Ted Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr, alongside a presidential seal crafted with real gold.
Located on Floodgate Street in the Irish Quarter of Digbeth, the memorial stands as a free public art installation accessible throughout the day.
Kenneth Budd's son Oliver recreated the memorial in 2013 using new Smalti tiles, adding the face of former Lord Mayor Mike Nangle to the design.
