GANGLAND killer "Fat" Freddie Thompson watched his mother's funeral from jail yesterday after he was refused permission to attend.
But, although he saw it via a webcam at the top security Portlaoise Prison in Co Laois, a letter he wrote his mum Lisa was read out during the Requiem Mass in a south inner city Dublin church yesterday morning, Thompson wrote: "You're the best mother in the world. When our time comes to meet again, I will be right beside you and we can talk more then.
Hundreds of mourners at the service at St Nicholas of Myra Church on the city's Francis Street turned in unison to wave at the webcam Thompson was watching the service through.
The 43-year-old career criminal had applied for permission to attend the funeral Mass but was turned down.
Justice Minister Simon Harris did allow him out of prison for a few hours on Friday morning to say goodbye to his mother at a funeral home.
