Mundy and Camille sing Haunted by the Ghost for Shane McGowan

So that is the final farewell to The Pogues legend Shane MacGowan. As Irish funerals go, at close to three hours in duration, this will go down in much the same terms as his life, an epic. Between the public cortege through Dublin and Nenagh, Co Tipperary, and later via live web streams, it reached countless thousands of people, as his life and music had. There was a stellar list of mourners and contributors in song, prayer and tribute – President Michael D Higgins, Johnny Depp, Bono (by recording), Nick Cave, Imelda May, Gerry Adams, Aidan Gillen, Glen Hansard, Lisa O’Neill, Liam Ó Maonlaí, Declan O’Rourke and others.
