Very emotional TC, When Glen Hansard backed by all of those great musicians did Fairy Tale of New York and some of the congregation got up to dance did it for me.
Yeah, That was the one that got me. Tragic but brilliant.

A friend of my parents died a few years back - she was in her late 70s but a well known jazz singer in the region. Her coffin was walked in by jazz band procession (think Live and Let Die from the 70s) and as sad as it was, it was the perfect way to send her off.

Seeing Shane's family dancing around his coffin was brilliant. Just the perfect reaction
