Emotional rendition of Fairytale of New York as Dublin says goodbye to Shane McGowan| Newstalk
Crowds are lining the streets of Dublin this morning to pay their respects to Shane MacGowan.
The legendary singer and songwriter’s funeral cortège is making its way through the streets of the capital before travelling on to Tipperary for his funeral later.
The Pogues frontman passed away last week at the ae of 65.
Speaking to Newstalk at the procession this morning, Pogues fan Brian Corr said he travelled all the way from Philadelphia to say his farewells.
“I’m a big fan,” he said. “I’ve seen him about five or six times in London and a bunch of times in Philadelphia,” he said.
“I met my wife at a Pogues concert so it’s been a big part of our lives. It’s quite possible I would have been at a different club that night and wouldn’t have run into her.”
The funeral procession began at St Lotts Road, before heading across MacMahon Bridge and then Pearse Street.
It then made its way through Westland Row and Fenian Street before finishing at Denzille Lane at .
