“He was a beautiful man who was the perfect angel, forever young and never forgotten. A man, a friend, a brother, a son and husband and a hero,” the Daily Express quoted him as saying.

“I’m going to really miss you brother. I love you. We always will. We know you have found peace. Perfect peace.”

The requiem mass was held at St Laurence O’Toole Church in the working-class area of Sheriff Street in Dublin.

Gately had died on October 10 at his Majorca apartment. While on a holiday. (ANI)
