Simply the BEST funeral I have ever seen, rest easy Shane. It was also fitting to remember Sinead O'Connor today, together they recorded "Haunted". It would have been her birthday today so well done for including the song.

Beautiful ceremony filled with love, friends and family. With gratitude, Farewell, Shane.

Tears, happiness and dance in a funeral - how beautiful and authentic! Thank you! Rest in peace, dear Shane <3

I'd like to mention Father Pat Gilbert, parish priest of Nenagh, who conducted the funeral mass with great skill and empathy. He managed the secular and the religious mix very well indeed. He was ably assisted by his concelebrant priests. Well done gentlemen.
Also worthy of a mention was the Cúil Aodha choir, led by Peadar Ó Riada. Their singing of the sacred liturgy was awesome.

One of the most beautiful funeral ceremonies I have seen. I also had to cry bitterly for my little brother who had died. We loved the Pogues' music growing up. Goodbye Shane from Germany.🙏✝

Tears..., as a West Coast American of some Irish Descent, Shane spoke to my heart early in the mid-80s.
I will be forever grateful!

That priest is brilliant, he did a mighty job of balancing the celebration aspect with the solemnity and reverence

I have never ever seen a funeral like this and am completely in awe of his wife!

Beautiful RIP Shane…. Living away from Ireland, at special times your music reduces me to tears as it touches my soul.

I'm Colombian but for a short poignant & beautiful moment....I felt like an Irishman .... RIP Shane.

The most beautiful funeral I’ve never been to! I laughed, I wept, I sat slack jawed at the beauty of the music. I felt like I was there, like I knew the man, I said goodbye to a hero and I feel so blessed that this was shared with us all. Slán, Shane and many, many thanks.

As a young boy growing up in New Zealand
I learned to drink to Shane’s music
I wanted to be like him
His music ignited a flame of freedom within me
We didn’t know each other
But In your music
We were the same person
I’ll always be thankful
Now from the other side of the world
I shed a tear for you Shane
Rest in peace

Incredibly. The Irish are a wonderful people. And you, Shane McGowan, made history just by being yourself. RIP

That performance of Fairytale of New York will move any songwriters to tears, it's every person's dream to have people dancing and partying at their funeral as they sing the pub song they wrote to send them off

[FintanBurke-zecy]

From one of the thousands who left home to find a better life, first in London and later Los Angeles. Listing to Your songs, feeling homesick especially at Christmas. How we sang with all our gusto “Fairytale of New York”. Go raibh maith agut Shane. There will be some session in heaven this Christmas.

Thank you for sharing this with the world. We got to feel a part of it. He sings with the angels now. RIP and farewell, Shane.

Shane was a genius: he knew how to combine youthful punk rebellion with respect for traditional Irish music. In his maturity he remembered those who had to emigrate and those who suffered subjugation. He also knew how to create beautiful love songs... My admiration. RIP Shane MacGowan

[JT-tjks]

Massive respect to his wife Victoria for a wonderful ode to Shane and for allowing us to witness this beautiful goodbye to our hero! Thank you! ❤

[SchwabCards]

It's all so beautiful--I'm overcome. Love ya, Shane, and thanks so much for how you changed my life.
