The striking image features a young boy during a riot just off the Falls Road in the late 1970s

Green Day fans in Northern Ireland have spotted the band's new album features a scene from a riot in Belfast during The Troubles.

The original photo was taken by photographer Chris Steele-Perkins who visited Belfast in 1978 to document everyday life against a background of conflict during The Troubles. The photographer previously told The Guardian he went to Northern Ireland to capture the lives of Catholic communities from inside during the conflict. He said: "I was not there to illustrate a thesis but to enter the unknown, interacting and responding, and attempting to remain honest."
