The funeral Mass for Elliot English has taken place this afternoon.

Six year old Elliot died in Crumlin Children’s Hospital last Friday, three weeks after an arson attack on his home at Birchwood which killed his parents and two brothers.

His funeral Mass was held at the Sacred Heart Church, The Folly, where a Month’s Mind Mass was also held for his family members.

Staff from Scoil Lorcain, where Elliot was a pupil, formed a guard of honour outside the church.
