A well-known and popular grandfather and father-of-four died suddenly while holidaying in Mallorca, Spain.
Seamus Quinn, 79, from Dungannon was a member of the Armagh Bridge Club and had many close friends in the city.

His heartbroken daughter told the Belfast Telegraph that he began to feel unwell before suffering a suspected heart attack in his hotel room on September 30.
Friends at Armagh Bridge Club also held a minute’s silence on Tuesday night in remembrance of a player who won many trophies in his time with the Club.
Mr Quinn’s remains are due back in Northern Ireland this evening.
He was the dearly loved husband of Angela, loving father of Eimear, Donal, Peter and John and much loved grandfather.
