'The kindest soul': Funeral tributes to teen who died ahead of Ireland's Fittest Family airing

Cillian Flaherty, 15, who competed in Ireland's Fittest Family Picture: RIP.IE

Bright clothing served as the only splash of colour on an otherwise painfully dark day that saw Ireland’s Fittest Family contestant Cillian Flaherty laid to rest.

In a bitter-sweet request from the family, those attending the 15-year old’s funeral at Church of St Philip the Apostle, Mountview, Dublin, were requested to wear bright colours, incorporating sky blue.
