    It’s @noeltupearly’s last day at the BBC. He’s given a lifetime to public service broadcasting and journalism. In normal times, we would be lined up in the newsroom to applaud his enormous contribution — spanning four decades. Let’s send him a message of appreciation today.

    A rousing performance of 'Fairytale of New York' was given by Glen Hansard and Lisa O'Neill at the funeral of Shane MacGowan in Nenagh, Co Tipperary. The performance was greeted by cheers inside and outside the church | rte.ie/b/1420857
