The found photos include pictures of family milestones and occasions, trips abroad to America and Europe.

Mr McMenamin said: “They arrived with the donations around three months ago. It would be great to get them returned to whoever owns them.”

If someone knows who owns the photos they are asked to let them know and to call into the charity shop and ask for Liam.
