Short story:
Thousands of Cranberries' fans queue up in the rain to say their last farewells to the band's singer Dolores O'Riordan, who lay in an open coffin in St. Joseph's Church, Limerick, Ireland, Europe. Her bandmates lay a floral tribute reading "The song has ended, but the memories linger on", a reference to The Cranberries' break-out hit Linger. Fifty of the singer's former classmates at Laurel Hill Colaiste place bouquets of yellow flowers on a pew near her coffin.
