Book of condolence opens for Anthony Foley
Rugby fans and members of the public are paying personal tributes to former Ireland and Munster star Anthony Foley. The 42-year-old head coach was found dead in the province's team hotel in Paris on Sunday, hours before the team were due to take to the pitch in the European Champions Cup. As messages of sympathy flooded in from across the world of sport and further afield, books of condolence were being opened across Munster and Irish flags were lowered to half-mast. From midday, the public can pay respects in council offices across Limerick, Clare, Cork, Kerry, Tipperary and Waterford and at Limerick University and Shannon Rugby Club. A makeshift shrine was also formed at the gates of Thomond Park, home of Munster Rugby, where Foley had some of his finest performances. (Footage by PA Media via Getty Images)
