Our Town: Lisburn in the 1950s

[@DerekFletcher1]

Mine and my fiance's favorite Irish settlement. We got engaged in the castle gardens, overlooking the town. My best memory to date :) The absolute unspoken gem of Ireland. May it remain that way :)

Needs subtitles. Impossible to make out what is being said in the commentary. The music doesn’t help! Nice photography. Jarlath
