Belfast city council is to consider a permanent memorial to football star George Best away from his grave at Roselawn Cemetery in the east of the city, which attracts more than 1,000 visitors a day.

A spokesman for Belfast city council, which administers the cemetery, said the separate memorial would ensure the grave he shares with his mother Ann, and other graves nearby, have their tranquillity restored.
