Samaritan volunteers thrilled by invite to palace

Three Samaritans volunteers from Ireland, including a self-confessed “royal watcher”, have been invited to Buckingham Palace.

Anne Cummings, Teresa Bell and Mary McMahon, were asked to attend the palace party in recognition of their dedication and commitment to the charity.

The trio from Sligo, Athlone and Dublin, will be all glammed up for the 70th birthday of Britain’s Prince of Wales that takes place just days after the royal wedding.
