Daniel O'Donnell performed over the phone at a lifelong fan's graveside earlier this week
Margaret McCarthy's family had planned to play his song, ‘Beyond The Rainbows End’, over speakers at their mother’s grave, after her funeral in Innishannon
However the undertaker announced Daniel O’Donnell was on the phone and was going to sing the song himself, after he'd been watching the funeral online.
Margaret's daughter Ann, and Daniel, have been recounting what happened:
Daniel "Well I was watching the mass and I thought maybe if I call the Undertaker, he would allow me to do that so it was just a chance, and with good luck he answered. And, you know, it was a privilege for me it was no big thing for me to do that"
Ann "It was...I really felt my mother was watching"
