A light dusting of snow lay on the ground as Liam Reilly, the Dundalk musician who penned 'Summer in Dublin', made his final journey last Thursday morning (7th).
Friends, and neighbours braved the winter cold to bade farewell to the Bagatelle frontman, lining the streets as his remains were removed from his family home on the Avenue Road to St Joseph's Redemptorist Church, giving him a final round of applause as the coffin was removed from the hearse.
They stood in silence outside the church, as Fr Noel Kehoe welcomed Liam's mother Teresa, sisters Evelyn, Barbara, Darina and Paula, brothers in-law Pat and Eamon, nephews and nieces, who were the only ones able to attend the funeral due to lockdown restrictions,
