How good does it look?
A brand new Derry Girls mural has been unveiled.
The massive painting of the five main characters has been revealed at Badger's Bar on Orchard Street in the city.

The mural of the four girls (and the wee English fella) was commissioned by Channel 4 ahead of it's second season.
The Irish Times say the mural was developed by Channel 4’s in-house creative agency 4Creative, who worked with Derry's social enterprise group UV Arts.
Nicola Coughlan, who plays Clare on the hit show, said it was "an honour".
And there it is!
Thank you so much @uvartscic for your incredible work and talent, what an honour #DerryGirls pic.twitter.com/vbNnbxQJtA— Nicola Coughlan (@nicolacoughlan) January 27, 2019
Manager of Badgers, John Cooley, told the Irish Times that the mural is already a popular talking point:
"Already the amount of people stopping and taking photographs is unreal.
“I think because the show was such a success and the support they had from Derry, made it all the better".
