Over a thousand people turned out in Limerick to pay tribute to the rugby legend Anthony Foley last night when his body was returned home from France.

Crowds lined the street as a hearse carrying the coffin of the Munster head coach passed Thomond Park stadium.

His remains will lie in repose at St Flannan's Church in his home town of Killaloe in Co. Clare today.

Foley will be laid to rest at midday tomorrow.

A French coroner's report found the 42 year old died from a lung condition brought on by a heart disorder.
