Eamon and Bridie O'Neill from Coalisland, were joined by their five daughters and one son - Kelli Skeath, Bronagh Glackin, Pamela Rocks, Eimhear Donnelly, Edel Taggart and Niall O'Neill - for the "big do" in the Greenvale Hotel.

The couple were married in Stewartstown Chapel in April 1973 and a service took place in the church prior to the celebration in the Greenvale.

Speaking about the occasion, Bronagh said: "We had an unreal time in the Greenvale. The Patsy Hagan story tellers were brilliant and a good evening was had by all."
