Watch: Mourners arrive for funeral Mass of Zoey Coffey

MOURNERS, dressed in pink, are beginning to arrive to what is the third consecutive day of funerals in Clonmel. 


Zoey Coffey, 18, is being laid to rest today with her funeral mass beginning at 11:30am in St Peter and Paul's Church. Her favourite colour was pink. 


A low lying fog has settled as mourners arrive in their hundreds, most sporting different shades of pink, rather than the traditional black. 


Zoey lost her young life along with two of her friends, Nicole Murphy and Grace McSweeney in a car collision on the night they received their Leaving Cert results. 


The girls, along with Grace's brother Luke, 24, who was driving the car, lost his life too.


The McSweeney siblings were laid to rest together yesterday, side-by-side. Nicole was the first of the four to be laid to rest.
