Thanksgiving Square is an area of public space in Lanyon Place[1] in Belfast based on Thanks-Giving Square in Dallas, Texas.[1] It contains the Beacon of Hope sculpture.[2]
The area was proposed by Myrtle Smyth,[1] who was inspired by Thanks-Giving Square in Dallas.
Lord Diljit Rana, Baron Rana, chairman of the Thanksgiving Square charity, said the aim of the project was to create some public space for giving thanks.[1]
