A Tralee boy has graduated as an honorary garda.
Adam Roche received the accolade through Little Blue Heroes, a charitable foundation operated voluntarily by gardaí to help families who have children with serious illnesses.
Seven-year-old Adam suffers from severe haemophilia, a condition where the ability of blood to clot is severely reduced, causing the sufferer to bleed severely from even a slight injury.

He’s now an honorary Garda for life, and will undertake duties including going out on patrol with Tralee gardaí.
