Kodaline surprise mourners with appearance at fan’s funeral Mass

Members of the band Kodaline were among the mourners of Kilkenny teenager Ciara Lawlor who died attending their gig in Dublin at the weekend.

The 17-year-old became suddenly ill during the show at Marlay Park on Friday night and passed away later in hospital.

At the end of yesterday’s funeral Mass at St John’s Church in Kilkenny city, the four-piece stunned her family and friends when they were brought out. The Dublin group performed their song ‘Love Will Set You Free’ before conveying their sympathies.
