In 1971 Sam and Beatrice Kelly left Northern Ireland on a round-the-world trip in a campervan.

Fifty years later, memories of the trip have been revived by film footage which has resurfaced of an interview they did before they left with TV presenter Gloria Hunniford.
ย 
A relative of the couple, who are from County Down, spotted the footage on social media and sent it to the rest of the family.
ย 
Beatrice, now 72, was shocked to see the interview as she had forgotten about it.
ย 
Beatrice said: โ€œWe wanted to see how the other half lived and this was a good way of seeing it.
ย 
โ€œAnd if we were on our own steam (in a camper van), then we could go wherever we like and talk to normal people.โ€
