A Co Cork couple have been invited to tea with Britain’s Queen Elizabeth in London.

Former RNLI station mechanic Seamus Mason and his wife Susan will attend at the Queen's Garden Party in Buckingham Palace next Tuesday as a thank you for their hard work with the lifeboat service in east Cork.

Both were nominated in recognition of their service and dedication to Youghal RNLI.

Queen Elizabeth II hosts four such events each year, three at Buckingham Palace and one in Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
