IT never rains, but now pours Kodak Moments when it comes to finding photographs of Eddie Macken and Boomerang on the famous Hickstead Bank. The first was already discovered in the former Boomerang Bar premises, run by Fiona Macken, and now a second framed photo is spotted high on a shelf in Macken’s filling station in Granard.

Fiona, her father Johnny and mother Mona are gathered in the adjoining house on the Cavan road. Johnny, 12 years older than Eddie, recounts the story of his famous young brother, saying: “He was born in 1949 and Eddie was Daddy’s, Grandad’s and Mammy’s pet!”
