Sinead O’Connor’s funeral took place yesterday. A ceremony in Bray, her hometown in Ireland, where locals and fans gathered to pay tribute to the singer-songwriter who passed away on July 26.
A procession organized by the family, who over the past few hours have invited people to come in person to pay their last respects to the musician. At the head of the procession was a Volkswagen camper with loudspeakers blaring. Real mysticism Bob Marley, of whom Sinead O’Connor was a big fan:
