Hundreds of mourners have gathered in a small Irish village to celebrate the lives of two brothers who have been buried side by side.
Friends and relatives of five-year-old Ruairi Chada and his brother Eoghan, 10, watched tearfully as two white coffins were taken through Ballinkillen, Co Carlow, into the church.
The two brothers were discovered dead in the boot of a crashed car after going missing on Sunday evening.
Their father, Sanjeev Chada, has been charged with their murder.
The boys' mother, Kathleen, was flanked by family members including her parents, Patsy and Billy, as they arrived at the Saint Lazerian's Church.

Also there were Chada's brother Keshev and his wife Audrey and their children from Northern Ireland.
Heartbroken friends formed a guard of honour as two hearses made their way up a narrow country road to the church.
Parish priest Father Declan Foley said the pair lived with such energy and intensity that they brought joy and happiness to their parents and local community.
"The sudden and tragic death of the boys is beyond comprehension and almost impossible to put into words, but to remain silent would do Eoghan and Ruairi a disservice," he said in his homily.
Sanjeev Chada has been charged with murder Inside the church some of the boys' 14 cousins and best friends carried a procession of symbols of their lives: a hurley, a football, toy tractor, cook book, golf club, bicycle and photograph.
Father Foley said photographs showed the closeness and love between the brothers.
"Although the boys have their own rooms, they always slept together in the one bed," he added.
Eoghan and Ruairi's love of sport, cooking and farming were remembered throughout the emotional service, where school children and the church choir sang some of their favourite hymns and teachers and relatives read prayers.
The boys went missing with their 43-year-old father after leaving the family home to go bowling on Sunday.
Chada has been remanded in custody to appear in court again later this month.
