Mary and Paul are being remembered as a 'lovely couple' who were parents to Darren and Andrew, and grandparents to Nora and Maya, and are remembered by their 'loyal and faithful companion, Thumper."

Instead of flowers, the family are asking for donations to the Kevin Bell Repatriation Trust, a charity which helps bereaved families repatriate those who have died abroad.

Mary and Paul's funeral mass will be live-streamed on Friday and is available to watch here.
