Thousands of mourners to say farewell to Gilmore sisters

A shocked community will come to a standstill this morning to say farewell to the two little sisters who were killed in an horrific accident on Sunday.

Thousands of mourners are expected at the Mass of the Angels for two-year-old Kate and 12-week-old Grace Gilmore at the Church of the Sacred Heart in Belclare in north Co Galway.

Four years ago, their parents John and Michelle Newell were married in the same church as they set out on life together.
