Joe Biden today broke down in tears after an unplanned meeting with the priest who performed a ceremony for his son in the US before he died.
The US President met Fr Frank O'Grady, who gave the last rites to his son Beau Biden before he died of brain cancer in 2015, on the final day of his visit to Ireland in Knock, County Mayo.
The village’s parish priest Fr Richard Gibbons said he did not even know Fr O'Grady worked at the shrine before the president visited.
