Honeymooners return to festival 50 years later

THEY celebrated their honeymoon by watching the crowning of the first Rose of Tralee, and now 50 years later the MacMahons are back for a joint golden anniversary.

Terry MacMahon and his wife Eveleen have been watching the action in the Dome for the past two nights to mark their 50-year-long marriage, thanks to the generosity of the organisers.

Terry, 78, originally from Tralee and living in Dublin, said: “Eveleen wrote and told them that we were celebrating our 50th anniversary and they have looked after us and gave us the tickets.
