Crowds are starting to gather in Bray this morning to pay their respects to Sinead O'Connor.
The late singers funeral cortege will travel along the seafront of the town before a private family burial.
Her family say they wanted fans to have the opportunity to pay their respects.
Bray Councillor Dermot O'Brien said this will allow people to " line up in their own dignified way and maybe just have that moment".
"It really to me shows that there was this heart connection between the people of the town and this icon, who on one level had this extraordinary talent, but on another level for us is quite comfortable in the ordinary," he said.
"There's some interesting healing opportunity that the family are gifting us, the town, which is powerful."
