Embrace the mo’. As Movember draws to a close, it’s nearly time for all the men out there to stand back, stand up straight and look at their hairy faces in the mirror, before shaving them off and getting back to normal. Cold upper lips all over the world will shiver their way through another 12 months of moustache-less depression, before being allowed free reign all over mens faces once more.

As a final salute to all of those growing their way to awareness this November, here’s the top 5 Irish and Northern Irish moustaches for your visual enjoyment:

1. Dick Strawbridge
You might recognise him from that TV show Scrapheap Challenge ( or you might not recognise him at all), but this moustachioed gentleman was raised in Ballyclare and definitely wins the prize for bushiest face furniture.

2. George Best
One of the best footballers of our time, a true legend of Northern Ireland, and a bit of a womaniser too. It’s all in the power of the moustache (and in this case, the beard too).

I have an undying love for Belfast and all that it has to offer, an undying love for sleeping, Tegan and Sara, trashy tv shows, foreign snack-foods and being irresponsible with money. I also quite like origami, reading, jazz, hip-hop, dubstep, anything acoustic and Food Network TV. I've written for The Big List, Culture NI, Chatterbox and The Echo, as well as writing for BBC Across the Line.
