Sister pays tribute to '˜legend' Mary
Tribute has been paid to 'legendary' Mary Bellingham who spent more than 50 years working in the pub trade in Bellshill and Mossend.
The Bellshill woman died after a short illness and her sister Rena Lilley spoke today as she helped present a cheque to a cancer charity.
It followed an event that Mary organised shortly before she died.

A cheque for £1600 was presented to the the Les Hoey Dreammaker Foundation at the Belmill Hotel where Mary managed the Platform 3 nightclub.
