The Stardust inquest has heard how 26-year-old Michael Farrell, described by his sister as “the heart of our family”, could only be identified by his watch in the days following the tragedy.

"All of those young, beautiful smiling people suspended in time for decades. Waiting for validation and answers. For justice and accountability. We want our loved ones to rest in peace with dignity. They all deserve that,” Michael's niece Angela Shepard, also told the Dublin District Coroner's Court inquest on Friday.
