Tributes have poured in following the death of former Mayor of Limavady John Felix McElhinney.
A Sinn Fein councillor from Greysteel and father of seven children, he was elected to the old Limavady Borough Council in 2005 and became Mayor the following year.
He was described as an "absolute stalwart in East Derry Sinn Fein" following his death, and a "no-nonsense, straight talking, hardworking and caring comrade".
