Final Journey: Boyzone Carry Pal's Coffin

Stephen Gately's Boyzone bandmates are holding an overnight vigil alongside his body as it lies in a Dublin church ahead of his funeral.
Ronan Keating, Mikey Graham, Shane Lynch and Keith Duffy were watched quietly by onlookers as they carried the body of their friend into the chapel from the hearse outside.

A respectful silence was broken with spontaneous ripples of subdued applause, while the words 'Our Steo' could been seen spelt out in flowers alongside the coffin.
