Craig Breen's funeral procession was led by his own Ford Sierra Cosworth.
The 33-year-old driver's own Ford Sierra Cosworth rally car led the funeral procession that took place at the Sacred Heart Church in Ferrybank, Ireland. Breen's coffin, draped in the Irish tri-color flag, was carried by six pallbearers that included co-driver James Fulton, who was uninjured in the April 13 incident, along with longtime co-driver Paul Nagle.
“This is an unbelievably sad day," Parish priest Fr Kieran O’Shea told mourners at Breen's mass."Craig’s all too short life has ended. We are bidding farewell to someone who brought sunshine and joy to so many people in his short journey through life. We are so grateful that our tears are mingled with gratitude. Today we gather for somebody who has gone way too young while he lived his dream.
