The family of RTE broadcasting legend Larry Gogan wiped away tears as the DJ’s removal took place last night.
The 85-year-old, who spent four decades on RTE radio during a career spanning 60 years on the airwaves, died on Tuesday.
A service took place yesterday at Church of St Pius X in Templeogue, South Dublin.
Colleague Dave Fanning was one of those who paid their respects last night.
The funeral Mass for the much-loved broadcaster will take place this morning at 11.30am followed by a private burial.
The chief mourners will be Gogan’s five children Gerard, Orla, David, Grainne and Sinead along with his grandchildren.
The radio star’s wife Florrie died in January 2002.
