Mr Jimmy Dixon marked his retirement after 50 years as a porter at the Shelbourne Hotel, Dublin, last night by inviting the entire 200 strong audience of The Late Late Show on RTE to a champagne supper, after being interviewed by Gay Byrne.
During his career at the hotel, Jimmy met a host of stars and international personalities, including Princess Grace of Monaco, James Cagney, Elizabeth Taylor, Laurel and Hardy and John Wayne.
