Bob Marley day celebrated in style

Photo by Chris Burville 2/6/07 Edmund Smith takes to the street yesterday, during his lunch break, in celebration of Bob Marley's birthday. Numerous motorists and pedestrians showed their support with honks and hand shakes.

A Bob Marley fan took to the streets yesterday with a message of goodwill on an international day celebrating the memory of the reggae star.

Edmund Smith, 42, from Southampton, brandished a large placard at the Hamilton traffic yesterday lunchtime which read: "Have an irie Bob Marley Day."

He has maintained the tradition for the past five years, and explained: "It's about peace, love, brotherhood and unity. We need more in the world."

Passing motorists honked their appreciation of his gesture, with passers-by coming over to shake his hand.
