The mass will be held in St Laurence O’Toole Church on Sherriff Street in Dublin, where the singer grew up locally, and was laid to rest ten years ago.

Last year, on the anniversary of the singers death, Ronan Keating shared a picture of his tattoo in tribute to Gately on Instagram.

The ink bears the numbers 76 and 09, which represent Gately’s years of birth and death.
