Many thanks must go to Stephen McCormack the originator of the campaign and to those who contributed towards the cost of marking John H. McLaughlins grave as documented here.

Just wondering, do these ceremonies always kick-off bang on time? I'm coming over from Dublin and want to get to this, but the bus only arrives into the coach park shortly before 12 so I might be cutting it fine.

Usually mate as the officials from the club are on a tight match-day schedule. Is it a supporters bus?. Get it to make a wee detour to drop you off.

Yeah, it's a supporters bus we're linking up with in Belfast. They won't make a detour.

I'll do my best to get there if at all possible. Dalbeth, is that just along the London Rd. from the Celtic Supporters Association? Will the grave be easy to find once I enter the cemetery?

Thanks. :thumbsup:

Stef,
Never got a chance to speak to you, but congratulations on your raising of the money. Superb stuff.

As for today, another great turnout. Is this the largest yet? I think it is the largest of all the ones I have been to. Anyway, superb, and Kev, thanks for blocking me out of the picture as I intended....... :thumbsup:

:lol:
