Gay Byrne's daughter Suzy remembered her father with a touching poem at his funeral mass this morning.
The former RTE Late Late Show host, who spent 37 years at its helm, had been ill for some time and sadly passed away at the age of 85 on Monday.
Speaking at his funeral at St Mary's Pro-Cathedral on Marlborough Street in Dublin, brave Suzy told the congregation: “Thank you, Dad. You gave us words, ideas, music, songs.
"Often you made us laugh out loud and long.
"Beneath it all, you searched what was true. Thank you for that.
"And thank you most of all for being you.”
Thousands lined the streets of Dublin ahead of the broadcasting legend's funeral mass this morning.
