It is a sad sad day when a family member passes, but folks, we all have to go at some stage and considering Bob Geldof Snr had a very good innings and lived to the ripe old age of 96, his funeral seemed like a celebration of his life more than a completely solemn affair. As many smiles as there were tears.

At the church of St. Joseph's in Glasthule yesterday Bob Geldof Snr was given a good send-off by his son and two daughters and his grandchildren... Even the sun came out to say goodbye.
