A lone piper led Martin McGill's coffin to his funeral where mementoes of his life brought to the altar included a bottle of Lucozade and a Celtic jersey.

They were brought up as symbols of a life cut short just four days ago — an eternity away now for the small Donegal village of Creeslough. Mr McGill was one of 10 people, aged from five to 59, killed in the tragic explosion in the village on Friday.
