The parents of the Irish man who has been missing on the world’s highest mountain attended a vigil for him organised and held at Trinity College. Séamus Lawless, a father-of-one from Bray, Co Wicklow was fulfilling a life-long dream of reaching the summit of Mount Everest, which stands at 8,848m, before he reached his 40th birthday in July this year. Mr Lawless’ parents were accompanied by several other family members, relatives, friends and work colleagues. Trinity College Long Hall Room director Jane Ohlmeyer welcomed her work colleague’s parents and siblings to the vigil by saying she wanted everyone to know that they are with the missing man in spirit. #ShareALightWithShay pic.twitter.com/lrKOwncYz0 — Trinity College Dublin (@tcddublin) May 19, 2019They sang a number of songs at the outdoor vigil including Raglan Road and the Auld Triangle.
