The funeral has taken place in Galway of one of the three teenagers who died after their car entered the water at Menlo Pier at the weekend.
John Keenan, 16, was in the car with Christopher Stokes and Wojciech Panek and died at the scene.
Hundreds of mourners gathered at the Church of the Resurrection in Ballinfoyle for the arrival of the funeral cortege by horse and carriage.
John's mother Elizabeth and his brothers and sisters walked behind and were supported by extended family and friends.
Outside the church, a guard of honour was formed by members of John's beloved Olympic Boxing Club, the club he joined when he was ten years old.
They called him their "big, gentle giant" and just two weeks ago he won a county championship in Conamara.
Fr Kevin Blade spoke of the devastation in the parish at his death and of those of Christopher and Wojcieck.
"There are occasions in life when no words seem fitting, when we enter total sadness and desolation, when we are numbed speechless," he said.
Fr Blade said he knew John since he was a toddler, always known as Baby John, and always smiling.
"He would ring my doorbell. I would open the door, and there was Baby John. He would stand there with his little hand held out opened. I would put some sweets in his hand and he would smile and say thanks.
"He was a big gentle child and, in his mother's words, he was her pride and joy".
John's mother paid tribute to his primary school, Scoil San Phroinsias and Móinín na gCiseach secondary school for being so kind to him.
Mike Mongan, Head Coach at Olympic Boxing Club, said John was a talented, popular lad who had time for everybody and had a great sense of humour.
"He would drive me nuts as well", he said, raising a laugh as he recounted how John went off for a glass of water during championship training one day.
"John was easy come, easy go and you had to keep the pressure on and the weight managed ahead of big fights.
"This day anyway, he went off to the kitchen for water and when I checked up on him he had crumbs all over his mouth swearing black and blue he had just had a drink of water. Big Bad John had wolfed half a packet of biscuits he found up in the press."
Following the funeral mass, John was buried at Rahoon Cemetery.
The funeral of 17-year-old Christopher Stokes will take place in the same church tomorrow and he will also be buried in Rahoon Cemetery.
Wojciech Panek from Cois Na Bearu, Graiguenamanagh, Co Kilkenny will be cremated on Friday.
It is understood he had been doing a woodwork course in Galway and turned 18 last Monday.
He is survived by his parents Grzegoz and Katarzyna and siblings Kamil and Viktoria.
Internment of his ashes will take place in Calvary Cemetery, Graiguenamanagh.
