Fishing tragedy: City at a standstill as father and son buried 

The funeral cortege of Galway fishermen attended by hundreds from all over Ireland in Galway. 

When the funeral of Galway fishermen Martin and Tom Oliver left Claddagh church, the silence among hundreds of people lining the route was broken only by the roar of the river Corrib and the gentle sound of wind in canvas sails.

Three Galway hookers had moored in the Claddagh basin, with musician Sharon Shannon on board the deck of one of the vessels playing soft airs on her accordion.
