Bill Greer: UTV series tells of Stewartstown man who drove JFK car during Texas assassination

A UTV series has told the remarkable story of the Co Tyrone man who was US President John F Kennedy’s chauffeur on the day he was assassinated in Dallas in 1963.

Bill Greer had emigrated to the United States in the 1930s after growing up in the village of Stewartstown . He had gone on to serve in the US Navy before serving as a driver for three Presidents - including on the fateful day JFK was shot in Texas on 22 November.

The latest episode of Mahon’s Way with Co Fermanagh native Joe Mahon looks into the history of the Co Tyrone town, and its links with one of the most historic events of the 20th century.
