CLASSIEBAWN CASTLE Just out of Sligo Town down this coastal road.
August 27, 1979- to - 2009 -
* Lord/Earl Mountbatten of Burma*****
In Memory of a Great Man And his Family
August 27, 1979- to - 2009 -
THIRTY YEARS LATER A Day of sorrow and shame. The Murder of The Earl Of Mountbatten of Burma.A service at the pier in Mullaghmore, County Sligo was held Aug.28 2009. Lord Mountbatten, his grandson Nicholas. A 15 year old local boy Paul Maxwell , was a deck hand on the Shadow V. Lady Brabourne an 83 year old died of injuries the next day. The Classiebawn staff and the castle's present owner a retired meat baron Hugh Tunny were there for the service.
Lord Mountbatten and his family were blown up on his boat.
The Shadow V that he moored in Mullagamore.
He always had police around the castle the month of August.
The boat was not watched. So the IRA bastards had access to the boat.
Now I know why the Irish are so afraid.
I went into a Pub to ask directions and saw an old poster " Loose Lips Sink Ships."

The People I know in Sligo are so very sad and ashamed for what the
Crazy Terrorist's did.
I am sure they are not really Irish.
To do something so bad, an old woman and man and teenagers..
Well I Feel bad about the whole thing.. We should never forget.
