Tributes have been flowing in from family and friends after a body was tragically found at a Dublin racecourse.

Sean Donnelly, who was in his 20s, had been missing from the Baldoyle area for several days with a social media campaign launched to find the young Dublin man.

Heartbroken family and friends shared their favourite memories of Sean after the news, calling him a "gentleman and one of the best around".

One friend said: "Devastating news today hearing about our friend Sean Donnelly. You were one of a kind, thinking of your girlfriend and your mother, sisters and brothers. Help them get through this pal."

Another added: "May you get the softest cloud in heaven, we will always remember and love you."

A third simply said: "Too many too young. May you rest in peace, Sean."
