Some quite poignant moments, I thought Peter Corry singing 'Bring Him Home' from Les Miserables was beautiful, and for me will no doubt become inexorably linked with this day when heard on future performances.
I also have a lot of family buried in Roselawn. A sad day but one that the people of Northern Ireland will hopefully use to celebrate George's life in their own inimitable fashion.

BBC News have the entire funeral. You can watch it in segments. Just go to their news homepage.

Wonder how long it will be before they are cashing in on "Best of Best" videos?
Slightly OT, but does anyone else think Calum looks like Jude Law?

Afraid I fell asleep, but just watched it on BBC.
Different class - that's all I have to say.
