Hundreds of people tuned in online to watch the funeral mass of Offaly's Pat Smullen this afternoon.
The nine-time champion jockey was described as a gentleman who was always ready to help others.
The Rhode father of three passed away earlier this week from pancreatic cancer.
His wife Frances told those gathered that while Pat's death may have come as a blow to many cancer sufferers, he wanted to send them a message to keep going and not to lose heart.
