A couple from Edinburgh, Bernadette Shannon and Joshua Rowan got engaged at the top of the Shandon tower on 17th June. The couple had flown over just that morning, and Joshua’s plan was to surprise Bernadette by proposing in the very same spot her parents, Bernard and Margaret Shannon, got engaged over 40 years ago.

The Rev. Meghan Farr, priest-in-charge at St Anne’s Church, Shandon, said:

What an honour to be the starting place for two generations of family! Blessings to you both and to your families.
