IT was a day to remember at the well-known Tummon household in Enniskillen recently.
Anne and Patrick Tummon celebrated their 70th (platinum) wedding anniversary with their family and friends.
Married on May 22, 1954, 99-year-old Anne and Patrick, aged 92, enjoyed a party at their home in Kilmacormick Road to celebrate the big occasion.
Talk about a numbers game – the happy couple also have 10 children of their own, 39 grandchildren, and 59 great-grandchildren, with five more that’s on the way!
And to top off a great day’s craic there was also a special guest appearance.
“My dad absolutely loves [local Country singer] Joe Moore and the only time he goes out, is to see him playing in Mahon’s Hotel [in Irvinestown],” the couple’s daughter Arlene Tummon explained.
“He has watched him play there for years, so when Joe appeared at the house it was a big surprise for him.
“He didn’t know he was coming at all, so he was very happy to see him.
“We all had a great time. It was a brilliant day and one we’ll all remember.”
