More than 400 people have gathered to support the retention of Kinsale's traditional funfair, with a petition calling for the Piper's showman wagon to be saved already handed in to Cork County Council.

The crowd gathered on Sunday afternoon for a solidarity rally to show support for the Piper family, who have run a traditional funfair in the tourist town since the late 1930s.
