Dozens of armed police led a massive security operation in central Dublin as David Byrne, 34, was laid to rest after he was shot dead during a boxing weigh-in at the Regency Hotel ten days ago by a six strong gang including a man dressed as a woman. Today's funeral was attended by the feared Kinahan brothers, Chris Jnr and Daniel, who jetted back to Ireland yesterday - but without father Christy, known as the 'Irish Godfather'. Senior gangsters including 'Fat' Freddie Thompson were also at the event. During the Mass priest Martin Dolan told mourners that gangster Byrne was a loving father and parent with a big sense of humour. Pictured: Tearful men carry the coffin of Byrne out of St Nicholas of Myra church (top), flowers are arranged like boxing gloves in a ring (bottom left), and another arrangement shows Byrne behind the wheel of a BMW made from blue blooms (bottom right).
