Michael Collins, 51, was laid to rest next to his brother Willy's massive gravestone in a lavish funeral featuring a horse-drawn hearse and a Rolls-Royce cortège.
Michael Collins, 51, was carried in a platinum coffin before he was laid to rest next to his brother Willy's huge 37-ton, £200,000 gravestone crafted from solid Carrara marble. A grand funeral procession saw his coffin make its way to the cemetery pulled by six horses, adorned with blue cloth and feathers. A plane overhead wrote in the sky as mourners gathered to say their final goodbyes. Speaking ahead of the funeral, Michael's heartbroken daughter, Paris, said: 'Dad was a loving family man.
He lived and died for his wife and children, and he absolutely doted on his little grandbaby. He thought the world of him. My mum is absolutely heartbroken. They'd been together for 27 years and they did everything together. My dad is in heaven now with his brother, Willy, sister-in-law, Josie, and oldest daughter, Bonnie.
