If they dance at your funeral, you must have done something right. Thank you for the music, Shane and Kirsty. 💚

Only the Irish really know how to give a truly fitting “send off “. Such a loving tribute. RIP Shane.

That is by far the closest version to the original that I have ever heard by a million miles. Very fittting, RIP Shane😢

Not many funerals could hold a candle to shanes. RIP legend

[robertopelizzi]

The sight of the funeral congregation busting out into dancing brought tears to my eyes.

No one does a funeral quite like the Irish, Shane would love this x

[spirit-thieves]

Lisa O’Neill, a rare voice with character to match Shane's own. Just a pleasure to hear!

Original words to the song in a Catholic church....RIP Shane proud Irishman...the best of England and Ireland. We do death well here. Sad and happy, hard to explain...

I believe everyone would love to one day have a funeral ceremony like Shane's. Says a lot of what he meant to many people.

Excellent. Funerals should be a celebration of life!

Lost my own father to cancer in June at the age of 64, this version really hit me hard. The tears flowed. Will be a hard Xmas without him. This song is just as Shane would have wanted. His most epic song performed perfectly. Amazing!! Enjoy what you have in life and each other. 🥃

Shane would be proud. No filters. As it should be

Great job from the singers they both ripped into it, but the bit that gets me is at 1:19 when you've got most of the remaining Pogues on the stage, quietly joined by the last of the original Dubliners, and they suddenly kick in together, crying my eyes out from that second on every time.

[holly-rosemckinneycondren]

Seeing those people climbing over the pews to get up and dance is so beautiful. What a magnificent send off. ❤

[rmlfilms]

Cried my eyes out watching this. Well done to all, amazing tribute to a legend.

[JuanJose]

A fitting farewell for one of our own. Safe journey, Shane. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis.
