The service was conducted by Rev William Moody.

The readings were by Bros Sam Robinson and James Strange, with James also acting as organist.

The collection, in aid of LEMOS, was taken by Sam Robinson, DM LOL 517 and Andrew McAllister WM RBP 79.

Captain HB Woods, WM LOL 517 expressed thanks to the visiting Sir Knights and brethern, Killyglen Accordion Band, the readers, collectors, organist and everyone who helped in any way to make the event a success.
