  • The four surviving members of Boyzone will carry Stephen Gately's coffin at his funeral on Saturday.
    Ronan Keating, Shane Lynch, Keith Duffy and Mikey Graham will be helped by two members of the late singer's immediate family.
    Thousands of fans are expected to pay their respects as Stephen's funeral is held at St Laurence O'Toole's Church on Sherriff Street, yards from where the Boyzone star grew up.
    "Stephen's husband Andrew and his family have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from the public," family spokesman Gerald Kean told Sky News Online.
    "This is an extremely difficult time for the family but they are lifted by the fact everyone who ever met Stephen Gately had positive, happy memories.
    "He was a unique, beautiful young man."
    The singer's parents Martin and Margaret and his siblings Michelle, Tony, Alan and Mark are likely to be joined by his celebrity friends for Saturday's service.
    The funeral mass starts at midday.
    Gately was a hugely popular figure in the Irish capital, always stopping for photos and autographs whenever he flew home to visit his family.
    One onlooker said: "This city loves to see its own do well and we were very proud that Stephen Gately was one of us."
