GAA legend Teddy McCarthy has been remembered as a "humble, gifted person" at his funeral mass today. The Cork football and hurling star died unexpectedly on Tuesday at the age of 57.

Tánaiste Micheál Martin and the aides-de-camp to Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and President Michael D Higgins are among those at his funeral in his native Glanmire.

Secretary of his local club Sarsfields Alan McNamara remembered his successes.
