Eamonn Holmes was unable to attend his mum's funeral in Belfast due to 'health reasons'
The North Belfast man, who recently had back surgery, spoke virtually at his mum Josephine's funeral on Tuesday, November 22.
"This is a tough day for so many of us but particularly for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren whom she adored and they adored her. So if you can and see one of them beside you give them a hug. “A few weeks ago she said to me she didn’t want me at her funeral anyway – that is what she said… because you would just turn out to be the the fella in the big picture. It would all be about you.”
Posting earlier on Instagram, Eamonn thanked those who have sent messages of support since his mum died on Friday, aged 93.
