Dolores O’Riordan’s kind personality and beautiful singing voice are being remembered this afternoon.
Hundreds of people are attending the funeral of the 46 year old Cranberries singer who died suddenly last week.
A recording of Dolores O’Riordan’s duet with Pavarotti was played as mourners gathered at St Ailbe’s Church in Ballybriken – the same place she sang in the choir as a child.
Her mother Eileen, children Taylor, Molly and Dakota, their father Don and her stepson Donnie along with her extended family have come together to say their final goodbyes.
A platinum disc and a guitar, as well as a book of poetry were brought to the altar representing her life and career.
Chief Celebrant and close family friend Canon Liam McNamara said Dolores reached out to the world putting Limerick on the map.
She’ll be laid to rest beside her father Terry and baby brother Gerard, whose anniversary also occurs today, following a private family burial.
