While the chips could be as salty as wanted, the mood at Cork's most famous chipper was bittersweet as hundreds regaled with colourful yarns about Lennox's 70-year history as they queued for what could be their 'last supper' there. 

The famed chip shop has come a long way since its opening in 1951. Sadly, Sunday will see-Brian and Frances Lennox hang up their aprons one final time.
