Image source, PA MediaThe Artane Band launch into a reprise of their two-song salvo on Westland Row, where the crowd is at its biggest.
Again silence, beyond singing, for both, before a huge round of applause. There's cheers, whooping, hollering - this is much more of a Shane MacGowan scene than the typical funeral.
As the procession comes to its end point before departing for Tipperary, more music from a gathered group of musicians - this time A Pair of Brown Eyes, again rapturously received.

There are emotional scenes as the crowd joins together to sing one of The Pogues' most iconic songs Fairytale of New York.
It's a more sedate, sombre version of the well-loved Christmas classic.
And as the fans sing the line: "The bells are ringing out for Christmas Day", it feels particularly apt.
MacGowan would have been 66 on his next birthday - Christmas Day.

Husband and wife Tim Lynch and Pat Dunne live very close to the procession route - but, as a couple who lived among the Irish community in London in the 1980s, The Pogues' music has a special place in their hearts.
"It just spoke to our generation and the Irish immigrant experience," says Tim, who is standing on the procession route with a small bunch of flowers in tribute.
"We used to see him in pubs at the time," he adds. "But we wouldn't have bothered him'"
That wouldn't be the Irish way, adds Pat.
Crowds of people have thronged the streets of Dublin, eager to catch a glimpse of Shane MacGowan's funeral procession and pay their respects to the musician.

Jim McKee, who first saw the band in 1988 in Canada, and worked with the Pogues at a show in Sweden in 2008 says MacGowan was "up there with Irish poets like Yeats and Joyce".
"He was more than a legend - it's a sad day," he adds.
Nora Stewart, who came in from Wicklow on the train to pay her respects, says he was "one of the greatest Irish poets and musicians of our time".
"Today is Sinead O'Connor's birthday so for his funeral to be on this day - well we have had a very sad year," she adds.
"He was one in a generation."

For them, Shane MacGowan's legacy will never die.

You could hear a pin drop - only the band, and handclaps, before the chorus hits and the crowd, softly, joins in: "And the boys of the NYPD Choir still singing Galway Bay, and the bells were ringing out for Christmas Day."
People clap and cheer and pay tribute to the songwriter who brought that song into the world.
And then the band give the crowd another classic, A Rainy Night in Soho.

"Shane is our soul and we will always remember him," he adds.
Jess, from the United States,says Shane MacGowan's music got to her "soul".

The funeral procession started from outside Shelbourne Park Stadium and made its way through the streets of Dublin.
As the horse-drawn carriage pulling the tricolour-draped coffin of MacGowan passed those on McMahon Bridge, people broke out into applause and - in traditional Irish funeral fashion - began to walk behind the cortege.
All along Pearse Street people watch on, the mood celebratory rather than sad.
Fairytale of New York can be heard from speakers, members of the crowd clapping along. The city has come out to pay tribute to its adopted son.

At Tower Records in Dublin city centre, Pogues albums and merchandise are nearly sold out.
In the week since Shane MacGowan died, the shop has been cleaned out of most of the band's records - only some vinyl, DVDs and a solitary CD remain.
"It was the same when Sinéad (O'Connor) died, there was a tremendous interest in everything she did," said Gerard O'Boyle, who works in the store.
"We actually had plenty of Pogues stock in the last six months - but it's nearly all gone. Some people are quite frantic to get it. We've had people on the phone wanting Haunted (MacGowan's duet with O'Connor) but it's hard to get."
It'll ebb in a few weeks he adds - in the meantime, the shop will continue to field plenty of requests for anything MacGowan related. Music, books, films, T-shirts, the works.
He also tells me he has a personal connection to The Pogues - his band The Gorehounds supported the band in Dublin during their 80s heyday.
"They were brilliant, it was a great night. The records are good but live - that was where the buzz was."
He adds he got to have a few beers with the band, although - in true Pogues fashion - most of them were drunk before they hit the stage.
