Portadown Pikers Angling Club lay wreaths in memory of David and Daryl
The Portadown Pikers Angling Club laid wreaths at the Coosan Point Memorial, on Saturday 23 March, in memory of their colleagues David Warnock and Daryl Burke, who drowned in Lough Ree in a tragic incident in March 2014.
The group, which included John Trimble who survived the tragic incident, were joined by a group from Lough Ree Lifeboat for the wreath laying ceremony and some refreshments at the Lifeboat Station.
Pikers Chairman Noel Quinn later made a generous donation to Lough Ree RNLI Lifeboat, before the group departed to Lanesborough where they spent the weekend fishing.
Brian and Hayley Warnock also laid wreaths in memory of their son David Warnock.
