“You had a smile for everyone, hands for boxing and a face for the ladies. We can’t picture our family without you.”

HUNDREDS of Chinese lanterns will be released at Bandon Bridge in West Cork tomorrow night during a ceremony in memory of a local father of one and a British father of four who died in the town last month.

A FATHER of one, whose body was recovered from the River Bandon in West Cork, longed for a life without violence, his Requiem Mass heard over the weekend.
