Johnny Depp and Bono were among stars who gave readings at Shane McGowan's emotional funeral mass in Dublin.
The songwriter, who found fame as the lead singer of London-Irish punk/folk band The Pogues, died at the age of 65 last week.
Mourners gathered in Dublin ahead of the funeral to witness the procession pass through the city on Friday afternoon.
MacGowan’s coffin was brought to the front of Saint Mary of the Rosary Church in Nenagh, Co Tipperary, draped in an Irish tricolour flag and placed close to a large black and white photograph of the Pogues singer.
