Donegal woman 'honoured' to do reading at funeral of Pope Benedict

Mary Maguire reads at the funeral of Pope Benedict XVI.

A Donegal woman was chosen as one of the people to do a reading at the funeral of Pope Benedict XVI on Thursday.

The Requiem Mass of the former pope took place in the Vatican on Thursday and was historic as Benedict became the first former pontiff in the modern history of the Catholic church to be buried by the incumbent pope, Francis.
