Current affairs
The Human Rights Act is passed giving further effect in UK Law to the rights contained in the European Convention on Human Rights. The Act, which came into effect in 2000, gave individuals the opportunity to argue in a British court that their human rights had been breached. As a last resort individuals are still able to take their case to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.Art and science
Anthony Gormley's monumental sculpture Angel of the North is erected just outside Gateshead. The sculpture is 20 metres tall and has a wingspan of 54 metres. Despite initial local and press controversy, the work is now considered a landmark of the North of England and cannot be missed from the A1 road or East Coast Mainline railway (the main routes from London to Scotland).International
The British and Irish governments sign the Belfast (Good Friday) Agreement, which is subsequently endorsed by voters in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland at referendums. The Agreement established a new Northern Ireland Assembly, which formed a parliament made up of representatives from different parties. The Assembly has since been suspended and attempts continue for its re-establishment.Comments back to top

Commissioned by Graham V Smith at No Excuses for the 1999 Powergen Calendar and shot in the back of a vintage Rolls-Royce Sedanca driven around the streets of Battersea near Bob's studio. Christopher agreed to appear in the calendar as long as it wasn't as Dracula. We decided that Christopher needed no make-up or fangs to add a sinister air to the shot, just a carefully chosen expression conveyed everything that made him the Prince of Darkness.
