Jonathan Herlihy’s best friends and team-mates from University College Cork’s soccer club walked, heads bowed, alongside a hearse last night as it carried his remains from Barry Brothers Funeral Home in Riverstown, near Glanmire in Cork the few hundred yards to St Joseph’s Church.

Jonathan, 22, drowned with businessman Peter O’Keeffe, 36, last Sunday week after they saved two swimmers struggling in the water off Owenahincha beach in West Cork.
