Rachael English has said that it was an honour to host RTÉ Radio 1's tribute programme to the late broadcaster Marian Finucane.

"I've realised I'll never be able to reply to everyone who got in touch about yesterday's tribute to #Marian," the Morning Ireland presenter tweeted. 

"I really appreciate all the kind words. Despite the sadness of the occasion, it was an honour to be part of a tribute to someone who meant so much to so many. Thank you."

The funeral of Marian Finucane, who died suddenly on Thursday, will be held on Tuesday January 7.

Her funeral mass will take place at St Brigid's Church in Kill, Co Kildare, at 12.00pm, before a private burial.
