A youth worker who dedicated his life to the young people of a Belfast district has been awarded the ultimate accolade after locals declared him an ‘honorary Market man’.
Joe Hanratty passed away on Friday but not before the people of the area gave him a special farewell by gathering close to his Cromac Street home to remember four decades of tireless work at St Malachy’s Youth Club.
