Music superstar 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, Co Cork.

But 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.

Daniel says it was a privilege to do it.

Margaret's daughter Ann, and Daniel, have been recounting what happened.
