Falling Day was much the same.

The crowds were unreal as well.

So we got through it.

He had a lot of nephews and they were all there.

They shouldered the coffin all the way down from the church to the graveyard.

And then an old-fashioned thing that's done from time to time, when they had the coffin put in the ground, they were nearly fighting with each other to take the shovels off each other.

They all closed back the grave, all the lads.

I mean, it was just an honour.

They all had stayed up during the night as well.

Tea was tea, tea was whisky in the cup.

So they were up all night and they were all there again the following day.

touching isn't it it was an honour really was an honour to see the way they rallied round you know to some things like that you realise how good family are and community yeah you know Ireland is the way they handle a funeral is it makes you so emotional doesn't it the house was full of food there was people frying in the kitchen that were only acquaintances you know

And I think all of that carried you.
