    Aaaaw Boyzone's kids doing the prayers :(

    Is anyone else annoyed with Sky cutting the feed off and talking to people about it?

    I was livid when they cut from the prayers to that idiot Biggins - we want to hear the service, not that daft old g*t's opinion.:mad:

    Agreed I'd rather listen to the coverage then what other people have to say, theres time for that after the service has finished :(.

    The Sky streaming online is abysmal, it keeps stopping then when it catches up it has missed chunks! It keeps missing out parts of sentences. Abysmal. Are there any other sites I could watch this on?

    Aww thanks very much for this. My boyfriend is watching the blinking Rangers game so I can't watch on Sky. Selfish boy!

    I can't believe this. I really cannot believe that I'm watching coverage of little Stephen Gately's funeral. He was the first boy I ever wanted to marry, the poster I kissed goodnight, the little stephen doll that I actually took everywhere with me, whose picture I used to stare at and think was so beautiful. I remember I bought the tape of love me for a reason, played 30 odd times and decided Stephen was my favourite, voice and smile so sweet an warm. He just seemed like a genuine darling. I remember (after giving up on marrying him) wishing that I could meet a boy so sweet. Even when my love of boyzone faded I still got excited whenever I saw his smiley face on T.V or in pictures. He was so young and full of life. This is so sad.

    Much better! Thank you! It is so sad.

    I grew up with Boyzone. But now, as I am older, the age gap between me and them is much smaller. 33 is around the same age as me, its just a few years difference. It is no age to pass away.

    It is amazing to think what Stephen did in his short life - he achieved so much and he and all around him should be proud of what he achieved. Of course, he could have gone on to achieve much more. What a shame that the good people are always taken. My condolences to his friends and family

    What was that song? Was it written for the funeral? Very beautiful.
