Weatherday: We have come for Shergar

Cheese display in the English Market, Cork (2022).

Largely cloudy and wet, rain and drizzle through the day.

Temperatures up to 11deg in moderate southwest winds, easing to light by evening.

On this day in 1983, the very popular and successful racehorse Shergar was stolen from Ballymany Stud. A ransom demand of £2 million was demanded but never paid.
