Glen Hansard and Lisa O'Neill performed a memorable rendition of 'Fairytale of New York' at the funeral of Shane MacGowan in Nenagh, Co Tipperary on Friday.

Spider Stacy and The Pogues also reunited to perform 'The Parting Glass' at the funeral with both performances being greeted by cheers in the church.
