Thousands of people have gathered at a church in Limerick to remember the life of Cranberries frontwoman Dolores O'Riordan.

Fans young and old, many clutching white roses and daffodils, streamed to St Joseph's Church where a public reposal was held on Sunday.

Hundreds of Munster Rugby fans also arrived at the church to pay their respects after their crunch European tie was postponed.

Large crowds lined the road outside for most of the afternoon as they waited patiently to get into the church.

O'Riordan's distinctive voice filled the building as her songs were softly played throughout the service.
