Happy Lizzy: photos of Phil Lynott smiling to get you through the day

Like a big child, that’s how Phil Lynott enjoyed himself with his band Thin Lizzy touring all over the world. Since childhood, Lynott enlightened everyone with his presence. As his mother Philomena Lynott remembered, “every day now, when I think about Philip, first thing in the morning and last thing at night, I recall his lovely, warm personality and I see in my mind’s eye his gorgeous smile - and I feel better for it”.

We are in love with this collection of photographs. They’re an open door to happy days with friends, family and musicians that walked a road of glory with him that left a legacy we’re lucky to enjoy.
