The funeral of Lorcán Miller has heard he was an extrovert who loved life and was a natural leader.

The service for the medical student was the last for the six who died in Berkeley last week.

Hundreds of mourners gathered in the grounds of the Rathmichael church earlier.

A guard of honour formed by the UCD hockey club welcomed the casket, which was adorned by sunflowers.

During the brief service, Lorcán's father Ken said the support they have received in the past nine days has been humbling.

And his father spoke warmly of his son, who adored his family.

Tánaiste Joan Burton represented the government, while the American ambassador to Ireland - Kevin O'Malley - was also in attendance.

The service also heard that a postcard Lorcán sent from Berkeley arrived last Tuesday, the day the tragedy occurred.

Lorcán is survived by his parents - Ken and Sinead - and his young siblings Jamie, Poppy and Lucy.

Meanwhile, a survivor of the balcony collapse, Clodagh Cogley, has posted on Facebook about her serious injuries.

The Dublin student (21) said that the chances of her using her legs again are pretty bleak, and she will spend the next two months in a rehab centre in San Francisco.

“The fall from the balcony left me with 2 collapsed lungs, a broken shoulder, a broken knee, 5 broken ribs and a broken spinal cord... Meaning the chances of me using my legs again are pretty bleak,” she wrote.

“Not the best odds but I'm moving to a great rehabilitation centre here in San Francisco for 2 months (it has dog therapy ) and intend to give it everything I've got."
