The public have been invited line the streets of Bray in Co Wicklow after it was announced the late singer Sinead O’Connor’s funeral will take place on Tuesday.
The cortege will travel along the seafront in Bray, starting at the Harbour Bar and continuing to the other end of the Strand Road, before continuing on to a private burial.
It will pass by her former home on the Strand Road, Montebello, where Sinead lived for 15 years and where people have been leaving flowers since her death.
Her family have said they wanted the public to say one “last goodbye” to the singer.
The Grammy-winning singer, aged 56, was found unresponsive by police at her south-east London home on July 26th.
A statement issued today on behalf of Sinead’s family encouraged people to line Bray’s seafront from 10.30am for a “last goodbye” to the singer.
“Sinéad loved living in Bray and the people in it,” the statement said.
“With this procession, her family would like to acknowledge the outpouring of love for her from the people of Co Wicklow and beyond, since she left last week to go to another place.
“The Gardaí have asked that people gather, if they would like to say a last goodbye to the singer, from 10.30am on Tuesday along the Bray seafront.”
Following her death, her music management company, 67 Management, revealed she had been finishing a new album, reviewing tour dates for next year and was also considering “opportunities” around a movie of her book before her death.
