In the caption of her post, Amy reflected on some of the things she remembers most about her dad.
She wrote: "It's the small detail of things and bits and ways of who we are, who we were, the things that both hurt and sooth us to remember when they are gone.
"But remember we will, to keep their memory. My Dad's tea; teabag in and out in less than .5 of a second, slice of lemon.
"Saying 'good news' anytime he ate something he liked. Calling you a 'daft git', accompanied by a wry smile being his convivial greeting to anyone in his inner circle.

"The dog sitting at his feet in the evening by his chair. His calling out 'bring me back a parrot!' whenever you left the house. His tweed flat cap.
"Laughing at every episode of Only Fools And Horses like he hadn't already watched it a thousand times."

Noel Gallagher spotted in pub ahead of Oasis Croke Park gigs - as drones light up Dublin sky
Noel Gallagher has been spotted enjoying himself in a pub ahead of Oasis' return to Ireland today. Over 160,000 people who have bought tickets to the gig they never thought they'd see in an Oasis reunion are finally set to see the reunited brothers in Croke Park tonight (August 16) and on Sunday (August 17), with the lads landing on our shores earlier this week. While guitarist Bonehead has been posting himself enjoying a sea swim and a few pints, Noel and Liam have kept quiet — but of course, in the age of social media, they were bound to be spotted somewhere, with Noel having been seen enjoying himself at Brady's Clockhouse pub in Maynooth on Friday evening. View this post on Instagram A post shared by (@extradotie) Noel was mobbed by fans as he headed out of the pub and to a waiting car, and while he didn't pose for fans, he still felt the love as he waved to fans who cheered as he headed into his car. While Noel was enjoying a pint in Kildare, fans in Dublin were treated to a champagne supernova in the sky, when a drone show saw the band's iconic logo light up the Drumcondra skies near Croke Park. Videos on social media saw the drones light up the sky near Croke Park, with people gathering outside the stadium (perhaps looking for any last-minute tickets — but hey, still pretty cool that they got to see it!) Noel Gallagher has been spotted enjoying himself in a pub ahead of Oasis' return to Ireland, which kicks off today. Pic: TikTok As for what time everything kicks off this weekend, Oasis have confirmed that gates to Croke Park will be opening at 5pm on Saturday and Sunday. From there, the first opener in Cast will take to the stage at 6pm, while Britpop legend Richard Ashcroft will then appear on stage at 7pm.

Given five years to live, ‘King of Chemo' to visit Wicklow on mammoth half marathon mission
The seemingly barmy scheme comes on the back of his exploits to do just about anything and everything possible on two legs. What sets Iain apart from the rest of us with two legs is that really, he is not supposed to be here at all. While working as a fitness instructor in 2019, Iain underwent an MRI scan during a clinical trial he was taking part in. Despite not having any symptoms, some serious problems showed up. Two weeks after his 31st birthday, he underwent surgery which confirmed he had stage 3 brain cancer. This normally comes with a life expectancy of five years. But in those intervening five years, Iain has done something incredible –he immediately took on the challenge of raising money for cancer research, while taking part in events that most fit and healthy people would baulk at. 'I'm using my cancer against itself by raising the most money ever for cancer research,' he said. Since that day he has been single-mindedly promoting his cause under the name 'The King of Chemo' on social media. His content immediately went viral and he has built a following of eight million on Instagram and six million on TikTok and was crowned TikTok's 2024 Voice for Change Award. He has completed scores of marathons, cycled across America, and appeared on Ray D'Arcy Show, Ireland AM and Good Morning America among others. At the start of the year, Iain took on the challenge of joining the Great World Race of 2024 by signing up to complete seven marathons in seven continents in just seven days. His brash, at times irreverent posts, have gained him huge support as he laughs in the face of his illness. Only this week, he posted: 'Over $550,000 has been raised so far. And if I live long enough this is pretty much guaranteed to happen. BTW I'm doing a half marathon a day at the moment, so I'm not f**king dying anytime soon.' In his latest, self-imposed challenge he is taking on 32 half marathons in every county in Ireland while wearing a 32-kilogramme weighted vest. He has already completed runs in 10 counties, and coming up soon on that list is Wicklow. On Saturday, August 23, Iain will be hosting a community run around Glendalough and everyone is invited to be part of the effort. 'I'll aim to have them all start at 12:34pm," he said, with his usual wit. So aim for noon would be the advice and head for Glendalough upper lake car park in good time. 'Glendalough will be 10k (I'll be doing my own 11km prior),' he said. Everyone is invited to participate, whether you run, jog, walk, or cheer from the sidelines – every step counts toward a worthy cause. Bray resident Ciarán Hogan is a childhood friend of Iain's and is encouraging everyone to join in and support the campaign in any way they can. 'Iain's courage and positivity are infectious. This run is about coming together as a community to support his incredible mission. Whether you complete the full 10 kilometres or just a few steps, your participation will make a difference,' he said.

Oasis set for two sold-out nights at Croke Park
Oasis bring their Live '25 reunion tour to Dublin this weekend for two sold-out concerts at Croke Park, tonight and Sunday. The shows are part of the band's first tour since their 2009 split. The reunion tour began in Cardiff last month and has already taken in multiple stadium dates across England and Scotland. Demand for the Irish dates was huge, with both nights in Croke Park selling out within minutes when tickets went on sale last year. Many fans were left disappointed, with a surge of re-sale listings and criticism of the dynamic pricing model used by the ticketing platform, which saw some seats increase significantly in price during the sale. Speaking recently about returning to the stage, Noel Gallagher said recently: "None of us can wait." Fans can expect a setlist similar to earlier tour dates, opening with Hello and featuring Morning Glory, Some Might Say, Fade Away and Live Forever, followed by an encore of Don't Look Back in Anger, Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova. Liam and Noel are joined by long-time bandmates Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs, who has been taking in the sights around Dublin over the past few days, Gem Archer and Andy Bell, and American musician Joey Waronker on drums, with Richard Ashcroft and Cast as the support acts. Event information Gates for the band's Croke Park gigs open at 5pm each night, with Oasis due on stage at around 8.15pm. Promoters have urged fans not to arrive before gates open, as queuing or camping outside the venue is not permitted. Public transport is the easiest way to get to the stadium. Dublin Bus, DART and commuter train services will be running additional capacity, with Drumcondra and Connolly stations a short walk from the venue. Road closures and parking restrictions will be in place around Croke Park. Health officials have advised concertgoers to be mindful of a recently emerged Covid-19 variant and reminded people to take precautions if symptoms develop after the event. A long Irish history Oasis made their Irish debut in 1994 at Dublin's Tivoli Theatre and have since played venues including the Point Depot, Slane Castle and Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork. The Croke Park dates will likely be their biggest headline stadium appearances in Ireland, with more than 160,000 people expected over the two nights. Economic and cultural impact The two-night run is forecast to generate more than €60 million for the Dublin economy through ticket sales, hospitality, accommodation and transport. The Oasis reunion tour as a whole is projected to gross over €1 billion across its 41 scheduled dates. For many fans, this weekend will be about more than music. It is a chance to see one of the most influential bands of the last 30 years in full flight once again, sharing the moment with thousands of voices singing together under the lights of Croke Park.
