At the end of this month, the well known Good Relations Officer - and friend to many - will retire.

Sean knows every community group in Mid Ulster and has been very supportive of all events from all nationalities and ethnicities. He always enjoyed a good joke and a chat!

Here are 11 pictures that sum up Sean's commitment and dedication to bringing our community together.
