Alan, who passed away in 2016, was chairman of the branch for 10 years.

The walk was organised by his daughter Elaine Parker, who was joined by members of Carrick RBL including Eddie McKnight along with two of Alan's grandsons, Alan Hamilton Jnr and Sam McIlroy.

This is the seventh year of the event and all proceeds go to Carrickfergus RBL Poppy Appeal.
