Thousands across the world will pay tribute to the chart-topping singer today, as her fans, friends and family say their final goodbyes at the star's former home in Montebello, Bray. Sinéad was propelled to international stardom in 1990 with her ballad Nothing Compares 2 U, and is survived by three children, Jake, Roisin and Yeshua.

The funeral cortege is expected to travel along the Strand Road, beginning at the Harbour Bar, ahead of a private burial where Grammy-award-winning Sinéad's family will lay her to rest. A family statement said: "Sinéad loved living in Bray and the people in it. With this procession, her family would like to acknowledge the outpouring of love for her from the people of Co Wicklow and beyond, since she left last week, to go to another place. Gardai have asked that people gather, if they would like to say a last goodbye to Sinéad, from 10.30am on Tuesday morning along the Bray Seafront."
