Actor Frank Kelly has been remembered as loving, courageous and committed at his funeral.

President Michael D Higgins, 'Father Ted' creator Graham Linehan and broadcaster Gay Byrne wee among the hundreds of mourners to gather at the Church of the Guardian Angels in Blackrock.

Personal mementos brought to the altar included 17 flowers for each of his grandchildren, a picture of the Forty Foot and the Irish Times crossword - which he did every day.
