FITZGERALD At 3pm on Sunday last


at


Youghal, a moving and poignant Wreath


the RNLI Station in Lay-


ing Ceremony was held for all who have died, or


been in danger at sea or along the coast, and in gratitude for the gener- osity and selflessness of the men and women who serve, or have served as members of the RNLI and Irish Coast Guard. The opening Prayers


by Rev Hunter who said “For our tomorrow, they gave


today”, were


ful sea shanty “Home, Home from the


fol-


lowed by Hymns sung by the Community Choir from St. Mary’s Colle- giate Church under the Baton of Patricia Whyte, including the wonder-


Sea”


with music by Kevin O’Connell, Organist. A Lament was then played by Michael McCarthy, Youghal Pipe Band. The special Ceremo- ny was well attended by


locals from the Youghal and surrounding areas, many of whom were honouring family mem- bers who had lost their lives to the sea, and who told The East Cork Journal that, in a way, it was also a celebration of


their lives. Rev Hunter then hand-


ed the Wreath to Karen Walsh, crew member of Youghal RNLI, follow- ing which the Lifeboat “Gordon and Phil” was launched. The Wreath was then taken out into


the deep where members of


the Youghal RNLI
