The funeral of the Oscar-winning Irish actress Brenda Fricker has taken place in Dublin, following her death last month.
Fricker won the Oscar for best supporting actress in 1990 for playing Daniel Day-Lewis's on-screen mother in My Left Foot.
She was the first Irish woman to win an Academy Award, beating Hollywood stars including Julia Roberts and Anjelica Huston.
The 81-year-old was also well known for playing nurse Megan Roach in the BBC's Casualty from 1986, making her final appearance in 2010; and was the Central Park pigeon lady in 1992's Home Alone sequel.
