The Greater Antrim MS Society has expressed its sincere thanks to everyone who donated during Carrick Tribute Fest on May 23 and 24.

The group said: “We are especially grateful to Jack Creighton of Ownies for kindly permitting us to hold our collection throughout the festival.

"In addition to the funds raised, the event provided a valuable opportunity to meet and support people affected by Multiple Sclerosis, and to connect with many individuals and families within the local community.

"We are pleased to announce that the total amount collected was £1,212.54. No expenses were incurred.
