Two heartbroken families and one extended community were united in grief on Friday as the funerals of two teenage friends killed in a car crash took place in Co Donegal.

Alana Harkin and Thomas Gallagher, both aged 18, were returning from working at Simpson’s Bar and Restaurant in Carndonagh in the early hours of Monday when the car in which they were travelling left the road and ploughed into a wooded area at Terrawee, Gleneely, at around 12.30am.
