'Fairytale of New York' played at Shane MacGowan's funeral

The legendary Shane MacGowan of the Pogues died last month. 

His funeral was one for the ages. 

Sing and dance along as Glen Hansard, Lisa O’Neill, and some of the Pogues play the perhaps the Pogues best known tune--a Christmas classic no less--"Fairytale of New York." 

In the front row of the pews is Michael D. Higgins, the president of Ireland.

Rest in peace, Shane.
