Gerry Ryan Laid To Rest Tomorrow

The funeral of the late RTE broadcaster Gerry Ryan will take place in Dublin on Thursday.
His body was brought to his family home in Clontarf on Tuesday evening for a private wake attended by the late broadcaster's wife, Morah, their children and close family only.
The funeral will then be broadcast from midday on Thursday on RTE 2fm, the station on which he made his name with his daily talk show.
Station head, John McMahon, said he felt Mr Ryan's listeners would want to be part of the service.
"From our point of view, radio was Gerry's life and we want to pay tribute to that so we will be broadcasting the sounds of the mass through 2fm," added Mr McMahon.
Mr Ryan was given his own radio show in 1988, which went on to attract more than 300,000 listeners.
The broadcaster was found dead at his apartment in central Dublin on Friday. Police have said they do not suspect a crime.
