The family of a Co Derry man who died aged 20 from cancer are keeping the incredible legacy he left behind through a foundation in his honour.
Eoin Henry, who was born in Kilrea and lived in Aghadowey, has been described by his father as being "car mad" and "full-of-life".
The Co Derry man died on May 14, 2017 with his parents Steve and Veronica Henry at his side - only 14 months after a brave fight with neuroendocrine.

The NHS describe neuroendocrine as rare cancer that can develop in many different organs of the body. It affects the cells that release hormones into the bloodstream (neuroendocrine cells).
His father told MyDerry that his son had been "truly brave" in his fight with the "awful disease".
Steve described how Eoin had gone to the doctors in September 2015 about pains in his lower abdomen but wasn't diagnosed with cancer until a year later.
After initially beginning treatment for the disease in 2016, Eoin had reacted positively to chemotherapy. But within three months, after a check-up, the cancer returned and marked the start of a cruel battle with the rare cancer.
His family set up the Eoin Henry Foundation to raise funds to help families with the financial pressure such a diagnosis brings.
In short, they were determined that his life make a difference to others - raising a total of £175,000 to date.
Speaking to MyDerr y, Steve said he misses his boy "every day" and that he was "truly one-of-a-kind".
He said: "He was just a normal lad who loved life and embraced it every day.
"He would've done anything for myself and his mother. He was a lovely person to be around and when he was old enough he started working alongside me.
"He was very brave and strong when it came to fighting the disease, he would just stay very positive about the whole thing and kept going. It just got to the stage where he had no more fight left and that's when he passed away."
Mr Henry shared how difficult it is with every passing year - a sadness that neither parent "will ever be able to get over".
"May 14th 2017. It's a date I'll never forget. It's etched in my mind forever, and it's been really hard ever since.
"His mother will never get over the loss of her son. He was her everything. If you walk around the house now, there's a picture of Eoin in every room you go into.
"I actually dealt with it in a way no one ever should. I turned to the drink and I went to a pretty dark place for quite a while, but thankfully I haven't touched a drop of the stuff now in two years."
This Saturday, the family will host the annual gala ball in Eoin's memory at Titanic Belfast.
The event will take place across the entire Titanic Suite located on the top floor
A handpicked selection of Supercars with brands like Lamborghini, McLaren, Porsche and Ferrari will be at the event.
The foundation has helped countless charities across Northern Ireland since its inception in 2017 - including Young Lives vs Cancer, Belfast Cancer Centre, Northern Ireland's Hospice for Children and Angel Wishes.
"We helped all sorts of charities that are relevant to cancer because that's is what is keeping us going. Being able to help others through the foundation which is named after Eoin is just fantastic.
"It's amazing when you see the money being used for worthwhile causes that is really going to help other people that are going through hell.
"So, we are really looking forward to Saturday's event. It'll be a glitzy and glam event and it's all for good causes.
"We love and miss Eoin very much and this is all to keep his memory alive."
