Crowds pack seafront in Bray, County Wicklow, to bid farewell to singer and celebrate her life
The crowd started gathering before sunrise, some coming to grieve Sinéad O’Connor’s death, others to celebrate her life, and all wanting to say goodbye.
By mid-morning on Tuesday thousands had lined the seafront in Bray, the County Wicklow town the Irish singer had called home, to await the funeral cortege. There were flowers, candles, banners, poems, tears, smiles and songs, an elegy in sunshine for a singular, ethereal voice that had sung and spoken about love and darkness.
