Funeral route will give locals chance to pay final respects

SINEAD O'Connor's home town will come to a standstill tomorrow as fans bid her a final farewell.

The singer's family have thanked the people of Bray, Co Wicklow where she lived for 15 years - for their "outpouring of love" since her death last month aged 56.

Sinead's family released her funeral details yesterday revealing her cortege will travel along the seafront.

The Nothing Compares 2U star was found dead by Met Police officers on July 26 in an apartment she had been renting in Brixton, South London.

Her remains were released to her family last week in order for them to prepare for her funeral.

A family spokesman said from 10.30am tomorrow, the funeral cortege will progress along the seafront in Bray, past Sinead's former home Montobello.

It added: "The route will begin at the Harbour Bar end of Strand Road and continue along the seafront to the other end of Strand Road where Sinead and her family will then continue on to a private burial.
