  • If Colm Wilkinson could only sing at my funeral!!

  • Just great, brought a tear to my eye.

  • can't think of anything more appropriate to send him off with. God bless, Teddy.

  • Simon Cowell's limey eyes are smiling at Colm Wilkinson's Irish tenor.

  • @Jeannenyc57 A wonderful thing is a tenor, tenors are wonderful things...and Colm Wilkinson is the ONLY one who can reach the notes he achieved in this video. He must have channeled Teddy AND St. Patrick himself.

  • I have seen every movie about the Kennedy family and read every book about them, too (well, the gossipy, interesting ones). However, this song and video says it all. A Kennedy funeral song is worth a thousand words. Happy Saint Patrick's Day, Teddy. Someday, you'll have to let me know the real story of St. Patrick and the snakes. I imagine St. Patrick as a medieval Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin.

  • @stoogieb4me I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your brother. MY condolences go out to you & your family.

  • @Jeannenyc57  This is such a great song for all the Irish Families, we had are own wake 2night

    losin my brother.

  • He was a great man and is missed by many including his state will miss him dearly. I grew up knowing about the Kennedy's even seen them marching in a Labor Day Parade once in Marlboro, Massachusetts they were well loved by my family and friends families. We Love you Kennedy's
