A guard of honour was held in Clones on Tuesday night (1 August) for a teenager who died in a car crash while travelling to a debs ball in Co Monaghan, Ireland, on Monday.

Hundreds of people from the Clones community stood on Monaghan Street and at the town square as a mark of support for Kiea’s family as her remains were transported from a funeral home.

Motorbikes and cars followed the hearse carrying a white coffin.
