Northern Ireland marked its centenary in 2021. Commemorating this notable anniversary proved difficult given the political backdrop of Brexit and the contested nature of the territory’s sovereignty, which has existed since its creation. This article looks at various attempts to commemorate Northern Ireland following its birth as an autonomous part of the United Kingdom in 1921; first, as a “regional” component of the UK-wide Festival of Britain in 1951; upon its jubilee in 1971 and finally, during its 2021 centenary. Having analysed contemporary documents and media discourse, it looks at how earlier representations of Northern Ireland as a homogenous and “loyal” part of the UK had become unsustainable by the time its 50 th  anniversary coincided with “The Troubles” in 1971. A different approach was required in very different political circumstances in 2021, yet centenary events planned by the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Government included echoes of earlier tensions and compromises.
