Shane MacGowan’s family dance to Fairytale Of New York at funeral
Shane MacGowan's widow and his sister danced to The Pogues' iconic hit "Fairytale Of New York" at the singer's funeral mass in Ireland on Friday, 8 December.
Several of the musician's songs were played during the service, including “A Rainy Night in Soho” sung by Nick Cave.
