Americans bring flair to capital as many delight in a chance to connect with familial homeland More than 70,000 people descended on Dublin to see the Pittsburgh Steelers take on the Minnesota Vikings in Croke Park on Sunday with pomp, pageantry and a protest following American football across the Atlantic.

During her funeral mass today at The Cathedral of the Assumption in Carlow town, voices with both Irish and American accents echoed around the church - a testament to the lives Ms Nolan touched, both sides of the Atlantic.

Placed next to her coffin was her fashion brand and legacy, East x East, alongside a tin whistle - two symbols representing two very different chapters in Ms Nolan's life.
