Ciaran’s remains are taken from St Mary’s Church for burial in the adjoining cemetery.
There were heartbreaking scenes this morning at the funeral of Ciaran Feeney, the 21-year-old man who was knocked down and killed in Derry at the weekend.
Ciaran, from Tamnaherin, died after he was struck by a car on Glenshane Road, close to its junction with Drumahoe Road at 1.50am on Sunday.
The late Ciaran Feeney.
Around 1,000 mourners attended his funeral in St Mary’s Church, Tamnaherin during which local priest, Fr Pat Mullan, described him as a hard working young man who was devoted to his mother, Marie, and who loved football and farming.
A popular member of St Mary’s Slaughtmanus Gaelic Athletic Club, Ciaran had attended the club’s “Fun Day” day previous to the tragic accident.
Members of the club formed a guard of honour as his remains arrived and were taken from the church for burial in the adjoining cemetery.
