'I'm probably the last person alive who was at Yeats' funeral' - Sligo native recalls 1948 burial of WB Yeats
Briefly

"I remember the day vividly, even at such a young age. The rain was pouring, and there was such a solemn atmosphere at Drumcliffe. It felt like we were saying goodbye to a part of Sligo's soul that day."
"Yeats was more than just a poet for us; he embodied our landscape and our culture. Being there at his burial as a child left an indelible mark on my life."
