A Dublin woman appeal has issued an urgent appeal after a priceless family memento was lost on a shopping trip.
Sinead Flanagan has sent out a plea to anyone who may have seen her mother's locket which is of huge sentimental value as it contains a lock of her father's hair.
Taking to Facebook she said: "My mam lost her gold locket today in Blanchardstown Centre. She was in Woodies, Homestore and Dunnes and got the 39 bus.
"It's of great sentimental value with a lock of my Dad's hair inside, she's devastated, if people can share , these are the best photos we have of it , it spins around on a bar.

"Saying prayers to St Anthony".
The post has amassed over 700 shares but as of yet the locket remains missing.
