Ballybeen parishioner receives royal treatment!
Pictured below with Sammy Douglas MLA, is Mr John Leishman, who served in World War II at El Alamein and Normandy. He is a parishioner at St Mary’s Ballybeen and went on the Nolan Show last week to say how upset he was that he couldn’t get to the event at Stormont. He is 92 and met Princess Elizabeth when she was working in the ATS and wearing dungarees!
The First Minister got John a place on the Queen’s table at the dinner in the Titanic Quarter on 27 June. Sammy Douglas brought him there and then on to Stormont.
John gave his life to the Lord at the age on 12 and has been grateful for the Lord’s protection ever since. He says he has never been happier than now!
