Here some photos taken at the St Patrick Church in Skerries County Dublin (Finglas) of the amazing send off of fire fighter, and well loved cyclist Craig Sweetman. I reckon at least 400 to 500 people came to say goodbye, this from every corner of the Island, cyclist jerseys been worn by many, as this was a wish of Craig and his family, others in bright clothes, mix it with the uniforms of his colleagues at the Fire and Police departments of he airport, and something beautiful happens to celebrate the life of Craig…people hugged in the street, young, and old shedding a few tears, a poignant feeling that touched the hearts of all…farewell Craig, you certainly will be missed by us all…Rest in peace & Suaimhneas síoraí
