"The Gasyard failure should be a real bundle of laughs this year," wrote Mr. Campbell.

"First Marty's [Martin McGuinness] photos (don't know if there will be the obligatory warning at start in case those of a nervous disposition are viewing) then the serial election loser George (the cat) Galloway. Roll up, roll up get your tickets please!"

The Gasyard Feile started in Derry 25 years ago and each year it features a wide array of family-friendly events and entertainment.

This year's event runs from August 9 to August 15.
