A POPULAR landlady shared an emotional goodbye with loyal customers and friends as she moved on from her Diggle pub.
Angie O’Reilly held a special farewell party at the Diggle Hotel to draw her two years there to a close.
The bubbly landlady is stepping back temporarily from the pub scene following the unexpected death of her husband Billy in February from natural causes.
She admitted: “I lost my partner and it was just too much. It’s not just the pub here, it’s a B&B and the food too and it’s a lot of work.
“I’ll be out of action now for a few months as I’m having a knee operation – but I’m sure I won’t be out of the game for long and I’ll be back.”
Angie, who previously ran the Cross Keys in Uppermill with Billy, added: “I want to thank all our customers who supported us at the party and over the years.
“It was a wonderful night. Lots of people came up, including 30 bikes from Sheffield! It was great and really nice just to say goodbye.”
