Arriving by helicopter, a police escort and her own bagpiper - this NI principal was certainly given the royal treatment for her retirement
.
"Thirty-eight years of teaching and I feel maybe I still had a few years left in me but I wanted to go while I still loved my job and I still do. "So my mother was my first teacher in Portavogie Primary and my dad was the local Church of Ireland minister, he was there for 32 years so we were very much part of the community through the church and school."
"He kept coming in and saying all these different schools were up and I said 'No sorry I am not interested'. Then one day he came in and said Portavogie Primary is up and it was like a lightbulb went on and I was like I have to go for this.She added: "I must admit as a teaching career I have been blessed with the schools I have been in and the people I have worked with, very very fortunate.
"It started with a helicopter, I was picked up from the house or delivered to one of the staff who took me down the road then pulled in at Ards Airport and we were taken into a tent outside to wait. They flew down to Portavogie and when they landed, Mrs Stitt was greeted by her family, included members who had travelling over specially from England and her mum, as well as staff who were waiting.
