President Michael D Higgins has joined family, friends and colleagues of the late RTÉ broadcaster Colm Murray at his funeral in Dublin.
Many people from the worlds of broadcasting and sport attended the mass at St Gabriel's Church in Dollymount this afternoon.
Mr Murray, 61, died earlier this week following a long illness.
His wife Anne, daughters Kate and Patricia and his sister Mary were accompanied by his extended family and friends to say a final farewell.
President Higgins attended, while Taoiseach Enda Kenny was represented by his aide-de-camp.
Former Taoisigh Liam Cosgrave and Brian Cowen and a number of former ministers were also in attendance.
Colleagues from RTÉ down through the years also paid their final respects included current Director General Noel Curran.
In his homily, Chief Celebrant Father Jimmy Murray said Colm had loved life.
He was interested in the ordinary and he made the ordinary interesting.
Fr Murray said he never outgrew the area where he grew up and he never let his people down.
He said Colm's voice was unique and that he was a great wordsmith.
Colm, he said, gave a courageous insight into life with one of the cruellest and destructive conditions in a documentary he made about his illness with motor neuron disease.
Colm will be laid to rest at St Fintan's Cemetery in Sutton.
