‘We’ve lost our three lovely little boys’

In heartrending scenes, as the body of 21-year-old Jonathan O’Driscoll was lowered into the ground, his mother Helen asked to say a few words.

Helped by a number of women, she turned to the 300 mourners to make a short but very poignant speech.

“I want to thank everybody who has been with us since we lost our three lovely little boys,” she said.
