Dubliners mourn 'common man' Christy Dignam who was 'born to sing'

Dubliners are in mourning after the great Christy Dignam - the "common man" who was "born to sing" - passed away yesterday.

Dublin Live chatted to the people of the city about how they felt after the passing of the 63-year-old. And several told us of his impact on the community and on the Irish music scene, with some sharing their personal stories of the singer.

Rory Costello, a busker from Balbriggan, said the musicians in Dublin are all thinking about him today - and paid his own tribute to the singer with a stirring rendition of the song Hallelujah.
