Mickie Mac was buried yesterday and at the offetory procession his dickie Bow and pioneer pin were two of the items offered.Father Hanlon gave a fitting homily outlining Mickie Mac's life and hobbies including two poems one was "I see his blood upon the Rose" The choir turned out in force for a last farewell.
The schoolchildren formed a guard of honour outside the school as the funeral passed
his home and school. And his wish came true in Clonmacnois as his remains were carried down the hill to his final resting place five friends on trumpet, saxaphone, drums, guitar and accordeon played some music for the journey.
Afterwards family and friends had a meal in his honour in Hayden's Hotel.
