After 25 years of dedicated lifeboat service at Lough Swilly RNLI, Seosamh Mahon has decided to hang up the yellow wellies.
A spokesperson for Lough Swilly RNLI took to social media to say: "We wish him well for the future and thank both Seosamh and Mary Louise for everything they have done over the years.
"Ádh mór don todhchaí."
These sentiments were echoed by the many messages of good wishes posted to Lough Swilly RNLI Facebook page in response to the announcement.
Among the well wishers was Donegal RNLI stalwart Nora Flanagan who said: "Wishing you a long, happy and pager free retirement. Imagine not being woken in the wee hours of the morning to head off to not knowing what! Thank you."

“Best of luck Seosamh to you and your family for the future.” - Padraig Rath
