Black roses laid for rock legend Lynott

Dozens of black roses were laid in a quiet corner of a Dublin cemetery today to mark the 20th anniversary of the tragic death of Thin Lizzy frontman Phil Lynott.

His devoted mother, Philomena, was among hundreds of people from Ireland, US, Scandinavia and further afield who gathered in St Fintan’s Cemetery in Sutton to show their admiration for the songwriter had not faded over the past two decades.
