Stars of Irish music and fans have gathered in Dublin for the funeral of Oscar-winning musician Glen Hansard.

Hundreds of people have also gathered outside St Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin, where large screens have been erected to screen the service.

U2 frontman Bono, bandmate The Edge, Pearl Jam singer Eddie Vedder, as well as singers Hozier, Declan O’Rourke, Jerry Fish, and Imelda May were all in attendance. 

Actors Steve Coogan and Chris O’Dowd were also in attendance, as well as former Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams and traditional musician Finbar Furey.

Tributes poured in from around the world after Hansard, the frontman of The Frames, was killed at the age of 56 in a motorcycle crash on the outskirts of Dublin last week, hours after taking part in a trad session at The Wren’s Nest pub.
