Mourners are to gather at the seaside village of Blackrock, in Co Louth, for the funeral of one of the victims of the Irish Coast Guard helicopter crash earlier this month.
Captain Mark Duffy’s remains were found in the cockpit of Rescue 116, about 13km (eight miles) off the coast of Co Mayo, last Friday.
The wreck lies 40m underwater, beside a lighthouse rock in the Atlantic Ocean.
Captain Duffy’s is the second of the bodies of the four crew to have been recovered after the Sikorsky S92 crashed on March 14 while on a rescue mission.
The body of Captain Dara Fitzpatrick, a 45-year-old mother-of-one, was the first to have been recovered from the ocean.
Searches are continuing for the other crew members, Winchman Ciaran Smith and Winch Operator Paul Ormsby.
A funeral mass for father-of-two Mark Duffy is to be held at St Oliver Plunkett Church in Blackrock, Co Louth, on Thursday, before cremation.
His family have asked that no flowers are offered but that donations instead are made to the RNLI.
