Thousands of people have attended the funeral in Tuam of Sean Purcell, one of the greatest ever Gaelic footballers.
Mr. Purcell died at the weekend.
The president of the GAA, Sean Kelly, described him as one of the original superstars of the sport, who had been an inspiration to generations of players.
Purcell, star of many Galway football sides, was recently voted onto the GAA's Team of the Millennium.
