'Bounteous, bouncy and con brio' Paul Muldoon on Seamus Heaney
The poet and former Oxford Professor of Poetry Paul Muldoon has paid tribute to Seamus Heaney at the Nobel-prize winner's funeral in Dublin.
Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny and Irish President Michael D Higgins and U2 stars Bono and The Edge, joined the mourners in the Church of the Sacred Heart, Donnybrook for the service.
Professor Muldoon praised Heaney's "big heart" and the way he "made each of us feel connected - not only to him but to one another."
