Undertakers have provided a 19th century horse-drawn hearse for the funeral of a prominent member of the Travelling community in Co Mayo today.
Mr Martin Anthony McDonagh, a father of nine, died in a recent stabbing incident in Britain, and his remains were flown to Knock Airport, Co Mayo, yesterday evening.
Mr McDonagh is a son of the late Thomas McDonagh of Ballyhaunis, a local "King of the Travellers" who died last year - and whose remains were also borne in a 19th century horse-drawn hearse.
More than 150 members of the Travelling community witnessed the arrival of the remains of Mr Martin McDonagh at Knock Airport last night.
In Britain, two men have been charged in connection with Mr McDonagh's killing and are due to appear again at Reading Crown Court on December 11th.
