Tributes to footballer Ryan McBride at Derry captain's funeral

Tributes have been paid to Derry City footballer Ryan McBride at his funeral in the city.

Club manager Kenny Shiels called him "a Trojan warrior who wore the club's jersey with great pride".

The "fearless" defender was found dead at home on Sunday night, aged 27, but the cause of death is unknown.

Ireland's President Michael D Higgins was among hundreds of people at the service at St Columba's Long Tower Catholic Church in Londonderry, hours before former deputy first minster Martin McGuinness's funeral in the same church.
