Father Jack Is Laid To Rest In Dublin

Irish comedian and actor Frank Kelly (Father Jack) passed away on Sunday aged 77. His funeral was held in Dublin on Wednesday and was attended by Irish President Michael D Higgins. He was buried today and hundreds attended his funeral and paid their respect for the laughter he brought to their lives. Comic legend Frank Kelly starred in the hit TV series Father Ted and played the part of Father Jack, a drunken catholic priest exiled to Craggy Island. Although he played the part of a naughty priest, he was in fact a religious man who attended church.
