captured many Hearts, died on Thursday. More than 1,000 people

:00:19.:00:21.

attended the funeral service at St Bernards Church. Rick Faragher

reports. He was the boy who captured the love

:00:35.:00:42.

of everybody. This was a celebration of his life, with colourful jerseys

:00:43.:00:48.

and sports tops the order of the day. There were sports stars,

:00:49.:00:54.

politicians and family members. A keen Celtic fan, the club gave him

:00:55.:00:59.

his own tribute ahead of the game against Dundee United. Inside the

:01:00.:01:03.

church, his father described what he called his special little man. He

:01:04.:01:12.

was kind, calm, sensitive, loving. He was mischievous and unbelievably

:01:13.:01:19.

funny. There were tears in the crowd when his mother recalled a recent

:01:20.:01:23.

conversation with her son. His favourite movie was Peter Pan. We

:01:24.:01:27.

talked a few weeks ago about a journey going to Neverland. We

:01:28.:01:32.

explained that in Neverland there are no sore knees on -- or sore

:01:33.:01:40.

heads. He had a big smile on his face and he said, this is the best

:01:41.:01:48.

day of my life. He was charming, funny, he lit up the class. I know

:01:49.:01:53.

the rest of the children were really touched by the time he spent with

:01:54.:01:59.

them. As the crowd left, there were scenes of togetherness and

:02:00.:02:03.

solidarity. People, many of whom had never met, united by the strength of

:02:04.:02:08.

a young boy whose strength they will never forget.

:02:09.:02:13.

A 23-year-old man has been treated in hospital after suffering serious

:02:14.:02:16.

head injuries in an assault in east Belfast. It happened on the

:02:17.:02:19.

Newtownards Road shortly after one o'clock this morning. A 22-year-old

:02:20.:02:27.

:02:28.:02:30.

between Armagh and Dublin has been won by the German Marcel Kittell,

Tuesday. A huge crowd turned out in Armagh this morning to see the

:02:38.:02:40.

riders off. BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson reports.

:02:41.:02:51.

There was no sign of Giro fatigue from the riders all the spectators.

:02:52.:02:58.

They rode more than 100 miles yesterday and more than 100 miles

:02:59.:03:04.

again today. As they swept through the South Armagh countryside, the

:03:05.:03:08.

weather was on the whole kind. In fact, when they went through this

:03:09.:03:12.

village, not only was the son out but there were 2000 people lining

:03:13.:03:17.

the streets in the normally quiet village. It's all about the pink! We

:03:18.:03:26.

love to promote our country and we want to show the world how wonderful

:03:27.:03:31.

it is. It is just the spirit of the people of Northern Ireland getting

:03:32.:03:34.

behind anything and wanting to be part of it and show how wonderful

:03:35.:03:39.

the place is. Church services are normally held here at 11 o'clock on

:03:40.:03:45.

a Sunday, but not today. Did parishioners mind being disrupted by

:03:46.:03:51.

the Giro? Lets take the opportunity we have here and make the best of

:03:52.:03:58.

it. Let's just be here and serve people, that is what the church is

:03:59.:04:04.

about. And they all managed to get a look at the Giro, albeit a quick

:04:05.:04:08.

one. There they go on their way towards the border, on to Dublin.

:04:09.:04:15.

After three days here in Northern Ireland, the people are really going

:04:16.:04:20.

to miss them. I don't know what I am going to do tomorrow morning. I have

:04:21.:04:24.

to go to work. What are you going to wear? I wear pink everyday anyways!

:04:25.:04:34.

Show me your hair. Is that natural? It is. It is. It's lovely to see a

:04:35.:04:43.

man in pink. As for the race for the pink jersey, the action all came at

:04:44.:04:47.

the end with a sprint finish in Dublin. Here comes Marcel Kittel! He

:04:48.:04:55.

takes it on the line! A bolt of lightning. What a guy. He nailed

:04:56.:05:02.

that in the most difficult circumstances and just look what it

:05:03.:05:06.

is taken out of him. Marcel Kittel we salute you. He won yesterday and

:05:07.:05:13.

he won again today on what is his 26th birthday. The Giro now heads

:05:14.:05:19.

home back to Italy, but the memories here will linger for a very long

:05:20.:05:32.

time. ?NEWLINE there was no sign of Giro fatigue from the riders all the

:05:33.:05:35.

spectators. They rode more than 100 miles yesterday and more than 100

:05:36.:05:38.

miles again today. As they swept through the South Armagh

countryside, the weather was on the whole kind. In fact, when they went

:05:42.:05:45.

through this village, not only was the son out but there were 2000

:05:46.:05:48.

people lining the streets in the normally quiet village.

:05:49.:05:51.

To a different type of bike now and Northern Ireland's Jonathan Rea has

:05:52.:05:54.

moved to the top of the World Superbike championship after double

:05:55.:05:57.

success at Imola in Italy today. The Pata

:05:58.:06:04.

as time goes on, it will become dry as pressure starts to build, and by

:06:05.:06:11.

the end of the week it will be a bit warmer as well. Tonight, the showers

:06:12.:06:17.

fade so it is a dry end to the day with some wet spells. There may be

:06:18.:06:22.

one or two showers in the West but generally speaking there will be

:06:23.:06:25.

clear intervals, temperatures settling between five and seven

:06:26.:06:31.

degrees. Tomorrow, again, bright spells and showers. Through the

:06:32.:06:34.

morning there would be too many of those showers inland but they will

:06:35.:06:39.

develop as the day wears on. Across the Republic of Ireland it is also

:06:40.:06:43.

sunny spells with bands of rain moving in. Some of those could be

:06:44.:06:48.

heavy, and across Britain as well, sunshine and showers. The best of

:06:49.:06:52.

the sunshine is in Wales and the South. But in the East of England

:06:53.:06:58.

Show Scotland, plenty of showers, some of which could be heavy and

:06:59.:07:02.

thundery. But Northern Ireland, more showers will develop inland. There

:07:03.:07:08.

is potential for some heavy Shari bursts of rain and maybe the odd

:07:09.:07:13.

rumble of thunder. Temperatures around 13 degrees. Once we get

:07:14.:07:17.

beyond tomorrow, apart from the risk of some patchy rain, it does look

:07:18.:07:22.

mainly dry. A fair amount of cloud but there will be some bright

:07:23.:07:25.

spells, and temperatures are rising.
