Friends gather to bury Galway man who died in UK

Old school friends paid a poignant tribute to one of their own.

The men, in their 70s and 80s, joined with the rest of the community of Glinsk on the Galway-Roscommon border in honouring Sean Parker, 79.

The Co Galway native had died earlier this year at a nursing home in Medway, Kent, but was facing a burial in an unmarked grave as he had no family or friends to claim him.
