Ireland paid a touching farewell to Shane MacGowan, the famous singer of The Bugs and one of the most important voices in Irish music, who passed away at the end of last November.
His funeral was attended by celebrities such as singer Nick Cave, actor Johnny Depp, Irish President Michael Higgins, and former Republican Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams.
Irish folk songs echoed on violin or piano in the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary in Nenagh, a small town in central Ireland, during a religious ceremony broadcast live on television.
