LUDDEN woman Bridie
McLaughlin got fitted out by Topline Fashions in
Buncrana last week for her trip to London to pick up
her MBE.
The entire styling session was captured on film by
the RTE Nationwide team.
Retired nurse Bridie was the only person from the
Republic of Ireland to be named on this year's New
Year's Honours List.
She retired last June
from her position at Altnagelvin Hospital where she
specialised in acute medical nursing. She was
nominated for the award by senior members of the
medical staff at the hospital.
Topline staff including Roisin Doherty, Deborah
Doherty and owners Charlie and Tina McDaid, helped
Bridie get in the spirit of the event with a few
laughs and a glass of bubbly.
And the local woman looked effortlessly stylish in a
carefully chosen pink suit and elegant hat. You can
see Bridie's preparations for her trip by tuning in
to Nationwide on RTE One on Wednesday, May 7.
