Hundreds of mourners of all faiths have gathered at St. Eugene’s Cathedral in Derry for the funeral.

President Higgins is among the dignitaries in attendance along with John Hume and Northern Ireland’s Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness.
In the homily, Bishop of Derry Donal McKeown said Bishop Daly’s ministry “was marked by total dedication to the people he served”
