Fans sing Dirty Old Town at MacGowan's procession

There were songs and music on the streets of Dublin on Friday as fans gathered to celebrate the life of The Pogues singer Shane MacGowan.

They lined the streets as his funeral procession travelled through the Irish capital on Friday morning.

The tunes included a singalong of Dirty Old Town, which was originally written by folk singer Ewan MacColl, the father of Kirsty MacColl.

MacGowan, who died age 65 last week, will be cremated after a church service in County Tipperary on Friday.
