It was a Tea Party with a difference where Daniel and Majella opened their home to the public – all to raise some welcome funds for charity.
The popular couple are long-time supporters of Donegal Relay for Life, and on Tuesday, to coincide with the Mary from Dungloe celebrations, they held a special fundraising event of their own at their home in Meenbanad for Relay for Life.
The ‘Kettle on the Boil’ charity tea day attracted fans from all over the north west and beyond and many stood patiently in the rain to get to meet Daniel and Majella.
Members of the Relay for Life committee were there too, and so was our photographer Brian McDaid who captured some great images from the day.
