24 years ago Joey Dunlop won three races at TT2000 to take his TT victory tally to 26. Today his nephew, Michael equalled that record, doffing his hat to the heavens in memory and respect of those great Dunlop road racers who have gone before him.

Two weeks to go until Sir John Lavery’s homecoming at @UlsterMuseum! I’ve had a sneak peek 👀 in the gallery and it’s a curatorial masterpiece @annemillarstew1 - maybe I’ll use that in the press release 🤔.
You're invited to a homecoming... A major new exhibition exploring the travels of Belfast-born artist, Sir John Lavery, is coming to the Ulster Museum on Friday 23rd February. This is a charging exhibition and tickets are now on sale → ulstermuseum.org/whats-on/la…
