This heartbreaking picture shows mourners walking beside the coffins of twin nine-year-old boys killed by their older brother.
Paddy and Tommy O’Driscoll began their final journey today, their coffins laying side-by-side in the front hearse.
The remains of the brother who killed them on Thursday follow behind in a second car, the Irish Mirror reported.
Tormented sibling Jonathan, 21, was on police bail for possessing a knife when he stabbed the schoolboys.
He hanged himself by a riverbank an hour after the carnage.
Devastated mourners lined the route and followed the remains, some tenderly touching the hearses, as they were driven to the Holy Cross Church in Charleville, north Cork.
A wreath bearing the boys’ names and the number nine - their age - was among the tributes.
After today’s funeral mass, Tommy and Paddy will be laid to rest in Charleville while Jonathan will be buried in Kilmallock, Co Limerick.
It emerged last night that specialist child interviewers will be brought in by Gardai to interview the young brothers, aged three and five, who found Paddy and Tommy’s bodies.
Their evidence will be crucial in establishing the moments leading up to the death
