It was a fleeting visit from Sean McGlinchey who returned home last night from the Commonwealth Games before jetting off on holidays.

The Oakleaf ABC fighter made a welcome appearance in the town centre draped with his bronze medal from a stunning display at the light heavyweight boxing.

Celebrations took place at Downey's Bar as the Derry boxer was greeted home to a hero's reception.

Above, McGlinchey is pictured with Mickey Glackin on Shipquay Street last night.
