 Mrs Julia Shirley, DL, presents Mrs McCullagh with her card Mrs Julia Shirley, DL, called on Mrs Jane McCullagh, from Larne, and presented her with a card as she celebrates her 105th birthday this week.
During her lifetime there have been 18 US Presidents and, when asked what her earliest memory was, she clearly remembers her father returning from WW1 in 1918. An amazing lady and many happy returns from the Lord-Lieutenant and all the Antrim Lieutenancy.
