The best man at an Island wedding had a lucky escape on Saturday – when a piece of housing on a church bell fell off and hit him.
The accident happened after a marriage at Malew Church as the wedding party were leaving the building.
But he only received a cut and, although it required hospital treatment, he was well enough not only to attend the wedding reception later but also to deliver his speech.
Reverend Michael Roberts says it was completely unexpected.
