    Watching the funeral of a celebrity? Jesus christ, that's extremely weird.

    Bit crass to broadcast somebody's funeral IMHO. A funeral should just be just for the attendees with an exception maybe for heads of state or royalty maybe.

    What stovelid said. I know if it were my father and a load of rubberneckers were watching/listening, I'd be a bit weirded out. Although it is the fault of RTE more than those wanting in on the action. Very strange altogether.

    That church streams all its normal masses online. Obviously a lot of people wanted to see the funeral and it was the family's wishes to let it be shown & broadcast, so I don't see the harm.

    Fr. Darc' did a good sermon I thought. Very comforting for those who knew him I'd imagine.
    It's not at all unusual for masses to be streamed online so I see know reason why, if the family wish it, a funeral mass can't be streamed if people would like to partake but can't be there.
    I'd have thought Gerry would be pleased to invite as many people as wished to celebrate his life and comfort his family.
    If you're just tuning in to celebrity spot, you'd be bitterly disappointed. It's just a close shot of the altar.

    Lovely service so far. Nothing weird about listening to or watching it whatsoever. The church only holds 300 people so not even a smidgen enough for the amount of people who wanted to pay their respects. He lived his life in the public eye every single day and why not now either?

    It's a very beautiful funeral.
    A very moving tribute, but sad

    Why are there so many priests? And why is Bono American?
