The funeral has taken place of former Down GAA boss Eamonn Burns.
The 56 year-old passed away on Wednesday following a heart attack.
The father of two helped his county win two All Ireland titles in the 1990s and managed the team for a three-year spell before stepping down last Summer.
In a statement Down County Board said the world of Down GAA had been "rocked by the sad news".
Meanwhile, his club, Bryansford, described the schoolteacher as "a true legend of both club and county".
Eamonn's funeral mass was held at Our Lady of the Assumption in Newcastle at 11am this morning.
