The first funeral for a victim of the Creeslough explosion will take place this morning, when 24 year old Jessica Gallagher is laid to rest.

It will be followed by the funeral of 49 year old Martin McGill, which will take place later this afternoon.

Eleven candles have been placed on the alter of St Michael’s Church in Creeslough, to remember the 10 people who were tragically killed in the disaster, and one candle for those injured in the blast.

Archbishop of Armagh Eamon Martin says the entire country is grieving.

"I'm sure people all over the people are recalling their own sadnessess and their own losses at a time like this.

"I think it's at these times that we do reach out for God, and we do reach out for faith and for prayer, and for hope, Christian hope, in the midst of it all."
