Alderman Gregg McKeen who proposed the anniversary extravaganza said that last weekend’s ‘Friends’ Goodwill’ festival was a just “forerunner”.

“The plan is to continue for the next four years,” he said.

Mid and East Antrim Mayor Councillor Audrey Wales said she was “delighted” with the response to the festival.

“I was delighted to visit the festival and see so many families enjoying the entertainment,” she said
