Family, friends and fans were joined by figures including Bono, Steve Coogan, Chris O'Dowd, Hozier and Imelda May, while crowds outside watched the service on large screens in St. Patrick's Park.

Eddie Vedder performed "The Song of Good Hope" with Markéta Irglová, Hansard's former musical and screen partner. Bono remembered him as a man whose warmth left a lasting impression on everyone he met.
