Hundreds of mourners packed the city's St Mary's Cathedral today for the funeral of a popular priest who died just over a week ago.

Monsignor David Gemmell died suddenly after watching the Celtic versus Barcelona match in Spain on March 6.

His funeral service was led by Cardinal Keith O'Brien, the leader of the Catholic Church in Scotland.
