‘Snapping for socialism’ – Pat Mantle 1940-2024
Remembering the legendary Morning Star photographer with a knack for being in the right place at the right time

LEGENDARY Daily Worker and Morning Star photographer for over three decades, Pat Mantle, has died in Cork aged 83.
Fulsome tributes have been paid to Pat from his adopted home in Ballydehob where he became a well-loved mover and shaker in the community.
Widely known and liked by trade union and labour movement activists and leaders across the UK and Ireland, Pat was there to capture all the big events from the 1960s onwards in a period of intense industrial activity, whether it was the Ford seamstresses’ equal pay battle, release of the Pentonville dockers, Grunwick, the miners’ strikes or the Wapping printworkers.
