Cherie Blair - My Fake Diary

When I visited the West Coast of Ireland.

The island of Omey is a place of devotion to Saint Feichín, who is known to have established many similar communities across the West of Ireland.

I started at the Knock Shrine, an international place of pilgrimage and prayer, where over one and a half million people go every year.

The Shrine grounds are home to five churches, including the Apparition Church, Parish Church/Old Church, Basilica, Blessed Sacrament Chapel and Chapel of Reconciliation.

All of these are set in beautiful landscaped gardens of approximately 100 acres creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity.

The locals were very welcoming… well how often do they get a visit from a Millionairess, QC, and wife of a Billionaire?
