Weatherday: State funeral

It's a damp start but the drizzle will clear. By lunchtime there will be good sunny spells, which will continue through the day.

A high of 13deg is warmer than of late, in light northeasterly breeze.

On this day in 2001, the bodies of ten IRA volunteers executed in the War of Independence were taken from the grounds of Mountjoy Prison in Dublin and given a state funeral to a new plot in Glasnevin Cemetery.
