Thousands of mourners say goodbye at Sinéad O’Connor’s funeral in Ireland #shorts

Irish singer-songwriter Sinéad O’Connor was laid to rest Tuesday, Aug. 8, just days after she died in her London home at the age of 56. Thousands of fans and mourners roped around the streets of her hometown of Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland. Following a private memorial service, her cortege strolled down the roads in a vintage VW van by her former home and had Bob Marley’s song “Natural Mystic” blaring from the hearse. As her hearse was driven down the avenues, sobs could be heard throughout the large crowds as some clapped, cheered and placed flowers onto the vehicle. O’Connor’s casket was also shrouded in blue, white and pink florals. The mourning fans also included children who held onto teddy bears and some people donned Irish hats, scarves and flags, banners, dogs and musical instruments as they watched the procession pass by. The funeral service was reportedly led by the chief imam of the Islamic Centre of Ireland, Shaykh Dr. Umar Al-Qadri, according to Ireland’s news channel RTE.
