Blessing for those seeking Londonderry pensioner

St Joseph’s chapel in the Galliagh district of the city will host the service on Monday, January 18, at 5pm, which will implore guidance from God concerning the missing 71-year-old John Concannon.

Mr Concannon, from Altcar Park in Galliagh, has been missing since November 10.

As well as having dementia, he cannot communicate and has anaemia.

It is believed he may have boarded the wrong bus home on November 10 and became confused when it followed an unfamiliar route.

He was last seen getting off the Fernabbey bus at 5.40pm and walking along the rural Lenamore Road in the direction of the border.

Hundreds of peoplehave been involved in ongoing searches for him along the border and in Inishowen.
