The family of one of the 'Disappeared' has finally been able to have a funeral for him - more than 40 years after his murder.
Kevin McKee's remains lay in bogland in Co Meath for almost 43 years before they were found earlier this year along with those of another man, Seamus Wright. The IRA shot and secretly buried the men.
Kevin, who was 17 when he disappeared, and Mr Wright, 25, both vanished in Belfast in October 1972.
The IRA shot them on the suspicion they were working as British agents.
Their bodies were recovered from the same shallow grave on reclaimed bog land in Coghalstown, Co Meath in June during a dig to find a third man killed by the IRA.
Fr Michael Murtagh, former Rector of Clonard Monastery, told mourners at St Peter's Cathedral in west Belfast: "We are here to give Kevin McKee a Christian burial. This is happening 43 years late but it is still important that we do it.
"It is important for Kevin and for his family that they are given the chance to grieve publicly and acknowledge the awful tragedy his murder and secret burial was."
Kevin was buried beside his mother in Blaris Cemetery in Lisburn.
Mr Wright's funeral will take place tomorrow.
The hunt for the Disappeared has been overseen by the Independent Commission for the Location of Victims' Remains - a body set up during the peace process to find 16 victims secretly buried by republicans.
The ICLVR was on site for several months this year searching for the remains of former Cistercian monk Joe Lynskey when the two other bodies were found.
It is also only a few miles from where the body of Brendan Megraw was found last year following searches at Oristown, Co Meath.
The searches for Mr Lynskey have to date been unsuccessful.
