The late Shane MacGowan
The funeral arrangements for Pogues front man Shane MacGowan, who died last Thursday have been released.
He remains will arrive at St Mary of the Rosary, Nenagh, this Friday for Requiem Mass at 3.30pm.
Private cremation to follow.
The family asks for privacy at this time.
The funeral is being looked after by local undertaker Philip Ryan of JJ Ryans, Connolly Street, Nenagh.
Earlier that day Shane's cortege will leave from near Ringsend in Dublin and proceed to Fenian Street and Denzille Lane where it will continue its journey to Nenagh.
The Pogues' singer’s coffin will arrive at the carpark of the Shelbourne Park Greyhound Stadium at 10.30am and be transferred to a horse-drawn carriage.
The Artane Band and a piper will then lead the carriage and family cars onto South Lotts Road, across McMahon Bridge, and down Pearse Street to the junction of Lombard Street East and Westland Row.
It will then cross Westland Row and Lincoln Place into Fenian Street and then travel on to Denzille Lane where the coffin will be transferred back into the hearse privately.
The procession is expected to last about an hour and a quarter.
